F a bunch of covering the sides, just get the top and lids...
the stuff looks like it would do the job but when i take the carpet out it all comes out so i need something to put back over the areas not covered by the turf since the metal will not be finished and im sure would need some paint so i might as well paint the entire floor with nonskid

hydroturf is the best. I have done carpet in our express and I swore id never do it again. Since like half a million people have used hyroturf I would like to see how you will use it differently

The boat is fiberglass, correct? Where is the metal coming from?

im not using it differently, i just havent seen anyone "wrap" the entire interior. only application i have seen is laying it on the "walkable" floor area. look at the picture i posted of the boat, now remove all the carpet (wich is in the entire interior)and add this stuff. please show me a picture of it done like that - im not saying it hasnt been but id like to see how to replace ALL carpet with this stuff , not just the floor

You have a metal floor and deck lids? I am not trying to be a smart arse, I am just not familiar with Express Fiberglass boats. My Stratos is all fiberglass except for the hinges of course. If I ever have to replace the carpet in mine, it will be with hydroturf like I have in my hunting boat.

my xpress is aluminum hull not a fibeglass. I was told by an xpress dealer today that under the capet is alum also. I have only had the boat a week so i havent looked for myself but i'd be willing to bet that it is metal also under the carpet

LOL, thanks! I thought the boat in the pic was fiberglass... Hell, I would still paint the inside after pulling carpet and glue then put down hydroturf.

that is a option but ill have to find a paint that will last so the exposed parts dont look like crap after a year or two,

Well then i have another question for you. Did you ever have to do any touch up painting? All the areas shown in the pic i posted have a pretty good amount of chips, i am trying to find out if the original paint is a 1 or 2 part epoxy or a poly. All i can get from express is that it was heat treated and that they dont have any of the paint codes from that year

Drill them out then pop-rivet after putting carpet?
