Phat,

One gallon got me two coats with a little leftover for spot touch up's. The consistancy of the paint is controlled by the type of roller Duraback supplies, they send you two rollers. You would get more then enough paint for a 13 ft Whaler. It does cover the spider cracks awesome and in time I will see if they come back through. As for walking barefoot on it, I actually found it nice to walk on barefoot whereas my wife said it was hurting her feet. Personally I didn't find it that bad to walk barefoot on but, I don't think I would want to be barefoot all day walking on it. As for "how gritty", I seriously doubt anyone will slip now on my boat deck, great stuff.

MJ,

I wanted so badly to go with the Sea Board but the cost was outrageous. The cheapest I could find was two pieces on Ebay which would have cost me $131.00 plus shipping cost of $25.00. I actually got the idea for the decking boards on here believe it or not. Someone posted a picture of a guy who did the entire floor with decking boards and that's when the lightbulb went on in my head! It was so inexpensive to make and just my time to cut to length and put together. They are rugged as heck, there was two of us fatties standing on one hatch and it never budged. Somewhat on the heavy side but it is what it is as they say.

So thanks guys for the comments and this website is the best!

That would be me...you are welcome!

I can't see your pics but I get the gist...composite deck boards would make great floor hatches!! I never even thought of that! I bet it looks great and like you said cheaper and just as durable as star/seaboard.

Nice work!

Default Gritty

I did the same to my deck, that Durabak is awsome and it does not bother the bare feet....not mine anyway. Yours looks cleaner than mine. I didn't have many major spider cracks to begin with and I think that my deck will surely outlive the boat!

That's what I love about this place...someone's always comin' up w/another way to skin a cat!!...those hatch-lids look GREAT and I bet they don't heat up like my grey Starboard does...good work, Shawsee
