repainting my deck over boat,not sure what to do with the top deck,I see some carpet,some non-skid tape,anyone use truck bed liner spray,whats the good and bad of them all,thanks alot, Lee
I put Rhino Liner on my fulldeck and I love it. I see alot more people doing it now. It cost me 399.00.
But , my neighbor just went and bought Hurcaliner from Napa and we just put it on his boat 2 weeks ago ... It was a breeze and it cam out real nice. I think it was 80.00 or something.
I put Rhino Liner on a few boats an was not happy w/ the end result. Also depends on your use. I have seen the Rhino Peel and lift up when installed by a pro. Also some Spray Liners become slick if certain things are put on them.
3M Tape is good but seems temporary. Probably wont last too many years. Spray on Epoxy Non Skid that the Airboat Builders do will hold up the longest with the best end result. IMO.
Use slick bottom and mix mortor sand and just roll it on,, you can then just paint it whatever color you want,, sand surface with 80 grit. smear it on smooth and even the use a loop roller the lightly go over it,, it will outlast the boat.
Put the roll on Hippo Liner on my last hull, peeled off in a couple of places but that was from running into stuff. Painted the new hull and threw sand on it wet and did about 4 coats came out BEAUTIFUL. you have to take the time to prep it. The more time you spend on prep-the longer it will last.
Just my 2 cents on this one.

Just did mine with gel-coat and added lots of grip sand made to go with it. It was pretty hard work but it has good grip, I've also seen small gravel added to gel-coat in curved corner areas for extra traction.
