Need advice on roll on or spray on bed liners for aluminum boats?

Question

took an aluminum boat and modified it to bass fish out of. need info on what brand of liner to use and if you were satisified with the results. the aluminum is bare metal. does it need a primer?

Answer 1

marine carpet is quieter and can be taken out for cleaning. if you want a level deck, fasten marine plywood to the ribs and glue carpet to the floor. this is the best method. will give you a safe, quiet floor. quiet is best for bass. have 16 ft. alumicraft.

Answer 2

I use neither. Get automotive undercoating. I actually sprayed mine on the inside of the boat. No more leaks. I am sure it would work equally as well on the outside as thats what it is designed for. Cans are usually 13 bucks or so and two will do a 14 footer

Answer 3

The toughest spray liner out right now in my opinion is Rhino Liner.  Very durable and easy to keep clean.  Keep in mind, the spray -in liner will add additional weight and you have to take that into consideration when adding passengers.
