Bed liner type materials for a boat?
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.

theres something different about the white, I think they send a hardner with it, had a friend that useed it, put it on too cold and it wouldn't harden, I don't know what teh deal is personaly, but its worth asking before you order

I used LIGHT grey Starboard for my floor hatch-lids...on hot, sunny days you can't stand on em barefooted, so I'm convinced any color darker than white in floor treatment is gonna be a mistake...

There may be some materials darker than white that don't absorb heat like high density polymers do...wood comes to mind...if anybody knows a good marine environment resistant material that doesn't hold heat, let us know...
