Was considering the rhino liner myself on an 18' aluminum boat (reduce noise, lower heat of metal, etc..). Saw the comment that the rhino liner sucked. Was wondering what the problems are?

Ron, I talked to the folks at Capital Hitch about spraying a boat. They said they wouldn't do it. They said they did 1 boat, and the customer brought it back, wanting to know if it could be removed. The customer said the boat was too hot to fish out of with the liner in it.

Thanks TC. Going to keep looking (seadek, hydro turf, etc..).

You can buy the same vinyl from cabelas and basspro that they use on the G3, polar kraft....it's a non slip. It is very hard.
I would think seadeck might be more comfortable on your feet and when you got down on your knees.
I like the carpet on mine. I have decided to wear it out a little longer, until chunks are blowing out going down the road.
Even though I use it in salt, I may still use carpet in some areas. But the seadeck looks like it could be good.

I put the Hydroturf in the floor of my new boat. So far, so good.

It's a fiberglass boat but I've been thinking about putting seadek on mine, at least behind the console to try and cushion it some. It's gonna be bad when I finally do get old.

Hydro turf from gator trax is hard to beat.
When you get some seadek MD, then you can comment. Get some for the inside of the car for your dog to keep his feet cool when you lock him in while your in the waffle house

. besides, your feet won't tell the dif. between old school camo and new fangled
Harsh brotha but funny.
