I recently received some great blue samples from the company in Florida that makes Durabek. How much do you think I will need to redo my interior of my 1964 Nauset?

Probably two gallons. I used one gallon for two coats inside my 13' open whaler. Great stuff! Follow their directions.

2 gallons huh? The folks in Florida neglected to tell me how much the stuff was but I'm glad to hear it is good.

do a search on ultratuff...I ordered it yesterday for my boat....from both samples, I liked the ultratuff better

Does Ultratuff come in a light blue or aqua color suitable for the old whaler interiors?

Incidently, I spoke to a nice guy at Durabek who quoted about $150 per gallon which is not exactly cheap and I will probably need 2.

Ultra tuff I believe has the blue
It is $50/gallon and the primer is $13/qt. 1 qt primer per 1 gallon ultratuff.
The ultra tuff covers approx. 50ft. sq. per gallon. I ordered 3 gallons for my 13, but that will be more than I need and it lasts over a year in the can, so if I mess up, I'll have extra.
This stuff is cheaper than the durabek and is used on marine decks and a lot of the water parks.
I figured if they use it at the waterparks and will all the wet foot traffic, it has to be good!

To save some money, you might use the gray color as your base and use a good marine grade enamel over it in whatever color you want. By doing that, the roughness of the rubber particles will be filled with paint to some degree. There's quite a bit of difference in $$$ between the gray and the other colors.

The guy at Durabek claims a gallon is good for 90 sq ft.
