Rhino type bed liners on boats???
With the rino-liner I would worry about 2 things:
1) weight - I think that stuff is pretty heavy 2) getting it in white - black would be too hot to walk on. I just posted this on another thread, but SeaDek might work for you. It comes in 5mm and 3mm thickness, it relatively soft, comes in several colors, and is relatively cheap as far as decking goes. Here are some pictures that I took of some samples: http://www.boatbuildercentral.com/help/SeaDek.htm Joel |

I used it to line the anchor/downrigger ball/transom wheel/assorted junk "well" at the bow. It only comes in black, but for sure white (or a nice grey) would be better. Doesn't weigh any more on the boat than it did in the can (iirc I used 2 cans) Lloyd Sumpter "The Tin Boat" Mirrocraft 12 |

Rhino type bed liners on boats???
Just this week I talked to a university maint. guy who used it as a shower
stall liner in a girls dorm - color was white or some other color (not black) problem was it stained easily and he needed to 'paint' it to remove the stains (I guess stain removers didn't work) anyway, the issues are staining and can it be topcoated in the future???? paul oman progressive epoxy polymers www.epoxyproducts.com/marine.html "Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the Sun every year." |

A lot of these liner type products are urethanes, and UV will dull them up pretty good over time. Look in the bed of my truck sometime ...tough stuff, but very dull and ugly everywhere the sun shines ...and still shiny new under the rails. I live in Oregon too, not a hot sunny state.
