Bed liner type materials for a boat?

[bcraigan]

I've checked out all the major brands of bedliner type material for recoating a boat. I'm leaning towards Herculiner, but has anyone else used it? I like the dura stuff but it seems rough to me. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

the durabak is kinda rough, I plan to put a coat of smooth durabak over the rough stuff next year. I figure I need to stop making holes in the boat some time, that will give me a chance to repair all the unwanted screw holes, then touch up with rough durabak, then top coat with smooth to take some of the bite out of it.

I have used Herculiner and it`s very good, but I have only seen Black color. Herculiner is a little rough for bare foot walking on it I think, but that stuff sticks SUPER good and it`s very lasting. I used it on one of my jeeps and I loved its quality.

Good thread...I gonna pull all the carpet outta the cuddy of the new-to-me-21 and was thinkin about using bedliner to coat that......didn't even know they made it w/out texture...but it's gotta be white no matter what...darker color gets TOO hot...

I used Durabak. Questioned how rough it would be but after fishing on it barefoot it's actually just fine for me. Don't find it hard on the feet.

Would note that I went with the light grey. Even a color as light as mine gets a little warm in the sun so if white would be an option go for it.

I redid my floor and the durabak helped hide any imperfections in the joint where the floor was joined.

Seems like the prices are close. Herculiner comes in other colors too. I was looking at blue but may go eith white after hearing what y'all said about the heat.
