I was going too use bed liner when i did mine, but the $$$ is also what stopped me
I used Duraback paint and it was great! there are a few here that have also used it with good results, but a few say if you get the texture paint one its a bit tuff on bare feet.

Skools did a complete rebuild of a boat a few years back and did a awesome job, he used a different paint that he rolled on. you can see the thread here, its 38 pages long and all nice reading, but floor stars on page 30

here are a few pics from my v20 when i did it.

I used durabak on my 14 McKee. I'll say this about it, make sure you put it where you want it, because once its cured, it ain't coming off. You are not going to slip on it, but if you do, its going to take meat with it. I'll spare you the details, but if they send you durabak and it comes with extra paint to tint it with, call them and ***** at them till they give you the color you ordered. When you make your initial order, they usually give you a few rollers(3" is all you need, skip the 6"), get as many as you can as they aren't cheap when you reorder more. They usually get you on shipping, so try to get all you need at one time. All that being said, its tough paint. The only complaint I have about the paint is that it does show dirt, and is a paint to clean (pressure washer)

MJ, you're right, that floor that Skools did really looks great. Ditto with your V. (Shame she's gone) :( Great pics of both boats!!

Spare, I understand the meat gone with a skid... took a little off my knee last year on a Rhino lined pick up truck bed. Who would have thought rubber could be so hard. Thanks for the advise on the get many rollers comment. I don't mind using a pressure washer... so the cleanup shouldn't be a problem. Does Durabak come in white? That's really my only major criteria. Question...how much Durabak does it take to do a deck?

Comes in a bunch of covers, I got the gray and its not hot at all. I did mine 2 coats with 1 gal with texture, and it just made it. But i had 2 floor covers in my deck that did not get painted

They now boost that its a bed liner also, says 1 gal will do a 6 ft truck bed.
