You can find seconds online that aren't terribly priced. It may cost more than the bed liner in a can stuff but I found it to be many, many times better and is holding up much better than carpet.
Smashdn, when you say find seconds online, what do you exactly mean? Used stuff from random people? Or hydroturf selling scrap? Someone else?

Im curious because Im about to start decking my boat and cant decide between hydroturf, carpet, some other liner, etc. Thanks for the help.
