Alternative to carpet in boats
 

I got a couple spots in my boat that the carpet was starting to wear down and rip... I was wondering if any or you guys ripped the carpet out and try doing something themselves ? I was looking at tuff coat at bass pro and it seems pretty legit.. Anyone try this stuff or something similar? I'd rather not go back to carpet

Safe Floor
 

You might want to look into Safe Floor. Friend of mine did his 21ft Kenner a couple of years back and loves it.

Just put Rhino liner in it. That stuff is very durable.

I just finished my hydro turf install today. I love the stuff.

Looks great. Did you do the peel and stick? Where did you get it from?

Yes. I got the 3M backing. About $100.00 for a 47"x86" sheet. I ordered from Atlantic Jet Sports but it ships from Hydro Turf so just as well order from them. Just make sure you clean the surface well. I used alcohol. Also make sure when you stick it down, its where you want it because its STUCK. We'll see how it holds up, I've read a lot of great reviews from people with duck boats. As far a comfort? This stuff is really nice on the feet.

That Safe Floor looks pretty legit. If price is reasonable, that's what I would be using.

I used a rhino liner type bed liner. Made by liner extreme. They just moved to lake Charles. Did it myself and came out very nice.

Is that a real heavy material? Is it hot in the sun

It's equivalent to regular bed liners. And it is not hot in the sun. Some places I made the texture a lil too ruff. Thank god it wasn't the floor. But the console is ruff. I sprayed all storages and bilge areas as well

Line x basically the same and its as lite weight as it gets and they have different colors.

Can it be rolled on?

Yes but I couldn't find a line x dealer without a wait. So I made a go of it. And I'm glad I did. Line x in Lafayette wanted me to wait 5 weeks. The line x dealer in new Iberia only had black. And rhino in LAFAYETTE only had black. They said it wouldn't get hot but...... I was skeptical.

Oh don't get me wrong it looks really good. Sounds like they need help over there. Linex dealer here you call and ask how long it take and if you can wait on it and they say bring it in. I'm thinking of having them spray my fiberglass boat on inside , starting to get some slick area's. I think they got like about 5 different colors...

Not sure if it can be rolled on. I bet it can. You can call em they are very easy to deal with.

I agree. I believe line x had a good selection of colors. I could have chosen any color but, I always had fiberglass and didn't want another real light color. I bet it in a fiberglass boat would look and clean up nice.

Thats what i used!

I saw this stuff in a mud boat around Galveston. I'm going to have mine done in a year or two.

Ceramic tile is by far the easiest to clean and stays cool, just sayin.

I like hydro turf. It's basically thin stamped sheets of closed cell foam. It deadens sound also. You can walk around barefoot or have your old lady sunbathe on it.

My next boat will have nothing but hydro turf.

That and sea Dek are the best looking when done right
