Bedliner to replace carpet

[Jmnhunter]

anyone ever do this? Put in a bedliner type coating for their floor instead of carpet/vinyl? I know straight black wouldnt work because of the heat, but a gray or lighter color? I'll probably have to replace the carpet with vinyl or maybe bedliner in the future, maybe next year, just curious...

I'm curious too. My boat is a 98 and it sits out in the open from May til December so my carpet is looking a little rough. If anyone has done this and has some pics that would be really cool.

I have seen it done, the one thing I did not like about it was how rough it was on the bare feet and it heated up pretty good but that was a not on carpet just on the floor of a 14' aluminum but it was better than bare aluminum. There is a marine coating that is meant for boats that is like a bedliner but special for marine wood. That is supposed to hold up very good.

Used it in my Lund S14 river/duck boat. It works great for this purpose.

I used a different product, but similar to a "bed liner" type material.

You're going in the right direction, stay away from carpet / vinyl.

If you're going to put it right over wood, make sure that wood is sealed with a primer (whatever the bed liner calls for)

If you look at the Crestliner's they use a similar product but it is tinted green. It was some thick stuff and it was not slippery when wet. They used it on several different models.

My buddy hooked me up with some driveway sealant and silica sand. Same idea though. You can kinda see it in my avatar.

We've been using a product at the boat shop that is tintable and can be speckled with a second color. We've done it on quite a few boats now, and the customers just love it. Not too hot on the feet, matches the outside paint scheme, and isn't too rough on the feet. Just enough to not slip.

What's it called?
