If you decide to go with either of the more popular commercial bedliners something to keep in mind. This is what I was told when figuring out what I wanted on my truck.

Rhino Liner is sprayed on cool, so sides might get 1/8" where the bottom gets 1/4"depending on how fast it dries.
Line-X is sprayed on hot - and leaves an even layer on the sides and the bottom.

Of course that was 10 years ago, they might have changed by then. For the record, I had Line-X in my truck - hauled everything from concrete chunks to steel I-beams to gravel, sold it a couple months ago and it was still good as new - a little bit faded, but that was it.
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

What about the extra weight added using this type of coating? Keep it light, simple and cheap. I think I would go with a good quality marine paint with sand added to assure a non-slip surface. That’s my penny’s worth. Good luck

Carpet just lost some points in my book!

I got rained on out on the lake Sunday and my boat REEKS today...smells like it might be getting musty. If it would stop raining here I could take it out of the garage and air it out.

Ive still got bits of shad stuck in the carpet on the gunwales of the s**t boat (see picture below) from crabbing in november that refuse to come out...

Carpet is not my friend
