Resurfacing an Aluminum boat
Posted on 1/17/14 at 10:13 am

So my buddy has an 18' aluminum boat with carpet in it. The carpet has been starting to tear up and fade. He is wanting to go with something else. Only thing I could think of was rhino lining it, and that could get expensive. He wants to do it himself if possible. Any help would be great!

bedliner = very hot during the summer sun
Unless you get a color added to it, it is gonna burn you. I tested a bunch of colors and found that OD tan was the coolest out of them all
There is some rubber mat that people put down also. I just can't remember the name right now
Eta: I put bedliner on the rails and seats as a non-skid. Black went on the rails, and tan on the seats

Not exactly cheap but Sea Dek makes a rubber type sheet padding that can be glued down and it comes in many colors. There is also a non-skid paint called Kiwi grip that could be applied and get similar results as bed liner while being able to do it yourself.

eta:We covered the floors and deck of my buddys 15' G3 and it stays cool, feels great and cleans up nicely. We also have it on our mud boat and I really enjoy it.

Gatortail also offers it on their boats. Here is a picture of the deck of ours with the grey hydro-turf.
