I have an aluminum bass boat with carpet and want to replace the carpet with
a non-skid coating that is easily washed. There appears to be numerous
products on the market. I would like to get input from people who have used
some of these products.

Craig,

Consider spray-in bedliner material such as used by LineX in pickup beds.

That spray in stuff is thick and weighs a lot and might impact boat
performance. I was thinking about it for my boat and was talked out of it.

3-M nonskid tape shrinks a little bit, so is best put on in small strips
rather than long rows, but is the best product IMHO. If put on in an
alternating pattern, most of the deck can be clear for easy cleaning yet
there will always be part of the nonskid under foot.

I've got Rhino Liner in my pickup. It's great. It's sprayed on 1/8th inch thick
in the bed, but it could be much thinner on a boat. It comes in many colors. I'd
at least give them a call. Some marine apps are at the site below.

I would worry about using Rhino on the boat, as I think it is sprayed on
very hot, at least my LineX liner is. There are roll on liners available at
most good autoparts stores.

So Bill, what's wrong with spraying on hot bedliner product on an aluminum
boat?

Was having a brain fart. Thinking fiberglass. I like the LineX liner in my
2004 Pickup. I would look for another color than black, as it greys a
little, and is probably hotter than lighter colors.

Bill,

Agree with the color issue. Our local LineX guy won't spray some colors
because of fade problems and previously unhappy customers.

I'd think white would be OK. Difficult to keep clean but so is the white
nonskid on my whaler. In order to get it really pure white clean looking
I'd have to scrub it for hours. I've tried many products and none work
well.

I finally decided to be a little less anal about a pristine white deck on a
fishing boat. Now the deck is kinda sorta light gray and I'm starting to
prefer it that way.
