Author Topic:   Satisfaction with Bed Liner Spray On Material

floatinghat posted 06-30-2009 03:33 PM ET (US)
I have heavy crazing on the interior of my 77' [probably does not mean 77-feet but rather 1977] Montauk. I have considered repairs by sanding and polishing, Awlgrip, various bed liner "paints", and gelcoat. None of the crazing appears to be structural but I would like to repair it.
Gelcoat is the best and most original-- too expensive.
Awlgrip-- time would be over the winter-- concern with number of cracks and proper prep time.
Bed liner Spray --There have been a lot of people reporting their intention was to go with this method. What were the results? Are you happy? Would you do it again? What would you do different?

I used Durabak in my 13 and I'm very happy with it.
floatinghat posted 07-01-2009 12:22 AM ET (US)
Any pics? What do you like about it? Finish durability,
easy of cleaning, how did you apply it, was it easy?

I had my deck sprayed ( Rino bed liner) a light gray several years ago,,The guy that applied it said he could put it on as thick or thin as i wanted and he could texture it to meet my needs ,,My texture is about like anti-skid and realy works,,Fish stay put and the overall sound proofing/protection from lead sinkers and anchor chain is great,,Yes i would do it again

I rolled and brushed two coats of Durabak on and it was a very easy job..Its tough, easy to clean and I really like the non skid. It will cover any crazing and cracking very well. The only thing I didn't like was I couldn't get a real close match to the original color for the Classic 13's.. Durabak has a medium blue that looks good and that is what I used. If you apply with a roller, just be sure and follow the instruction and apply thin coats. When you open the can, you'll have about four to five hours to apply two coats which is plenty of time. From what I understand, there is not much difference in any of the bedliners..I chose the Durabak because I had a friend that had used it and was happy with it. I'll try to take some pictures this weekend and email them to you.

And yes, I would do it again on any older boat.

Great replies anyone else. I know the Whaler purists will scoff at this but some times it just doesn't make sense to "do it right". Sbash any pics? I was thinking durabak.
Glad to hear you guys are happy with the results. To many post of I am going to do this with out the end result and level of satisfaction. There are a couple of old 13's in my local marina, they are "work" boats with so type of coating that is brutal, peeling, pitted, and flaking off in spots. SO there are some to be concerned with their durability.

I am going to do this to my Squall which has been bastardized so many times there is no non skid left, etc. After I grind off the bizzillion layers of paint I can find the stencil but that is about it. The outside is actually in REALLY good shape. The interior is puked so why not. Hull is dry as a bone as well. I am thinking white and maybe adding a blue tint to try and match. Bud has the gun so I will spray it.

Bigshot,
Which product are you going to use?
Tohsgib posted 07-06-2009 03:49 PM ET (US)
Probably Wal-Mart cheap stuff.
floatinghat posted 07-08-2009 12:40 AM ET (US)
hurry up so we can see the results :)
Hoosier posted 07-08-2009 08:47 AM ET (US)
Has anyone tried the epoxy stuff they sell for garage floors? I saw some new center console fishing boats while in Mobile that had it, or a bed liner material, that was applied at the factory.

Sorry but I only paid $100 for the boat so $700 is NOT an option even though you are 20 miles away.
I think I can get the white at Wally world for like $50. Will let you know by the end of the decade.
goinboatn posted 07-08-2009 04:01 PM ET (US)
We would use around six gallons of Line-X and 20 oz of Xtra. How big is the squall? Since you are so close you should come by and check out my montauk sometime! - Brian
Tohsgib posted 07-09-2009 11:19 AM ET (US)
I probably will.
Squall is the size of a 9' bathtub or less.
Tohsgib posted 07-09-2009 11:21 AM ET (US)
6 gals of paint would sink the darn thing...it only weighs 125lbs.
floatinghat posted 07-12-2009 01:17 AM ET (US)

I figure I put a few more "cracks" in her today. Between fishiong and a family boat ride we put about a 100 miles on her today. Gotta love that Johnzukis fuel economy.
daveb posted 07-14-2009 08:24 PM ET (US)
I have dragged in another 13 Hull #20629 I am likely going to apply one of these products to the interior floor to speed up the restoration. Will likely go with as light a coating as possible to fill in the slight cracks and raise the coating enough to provide decent anti-skid. The only thing I am concerned about is the life of the product and whether or not I can remove it if I am not happy with the results. I used it on a trailer years ago to avoid stone chips, and it worked great. Flexible, waterproof and forgiving. Impressed with the results posted and it will be used for the floor only, not rear bulkhead or sides. Let us know how it goes.

done some research going to line x the inside of my 19 outrage low profile conversion with spider cracks it is going to be very cost effective also going to do console once it is raised 6 inches seems like only way to go purist may frown will post pics in about 2 weeks
goinboatn posted 07-15-2009 12:17 PM ET (US)
Dave we sprayed a 1966 13 about a month ago that we color coded to the original gelcoat color. The results looked like water from the keys!
TThompson posted 07-15-2009 08:23 PM ET (US)
I am considering using Kiwicoat - a role on non skid. Has anyone tried it?
A search showed some favorable reports.
jkronsberg posted 07-16-2009 06:35 PM ET (US)
will be spraying my low profile 19 outrage next week with line x
floatinghat posted 07-22-2009 11:11 PM ET (US)
GBN,
Sounds like you are doing a fair amount of business spraying line-x in hulls. What are they looking like 3-5 years down the road. Most anything looks good right out of the shop.
Funny thin is searching CW you read lots of post where people were going to do it next week (years ago) yet none of these people appear to be around.
goinboatn posted 07-23-2009 12:41 PM ET (US)
Line-X only became viable for boats when Line-X Xtra was introduced. Work boats and duck boats have always been a great application for Line-X using black or grey. Now we can color code the Line-X using Xtra. Xtra will not fade or turn colors on you like standard spray on liners will.
Also since we have a partnership with Dupont there are many things that can be done like adding a flatting agent, using a camera to match any color, or adding metalic to any color! My boat will have been sprayed for three years in October. The boat had been outside and stored on a lift in my back yard the entire time.The boat is used very heavy as I am a fishing junkie! These pictures are from a month ago - you be the judge!
