That stuff that in my Express is tough as nails but it's also tough on a pair of bare knees if you have to get down on them for any reason.I don't have trim on this old 1988 Evinrude and have to get on my knees to lift it. That liner will eat the hide right off!I like it though! Seems to dampen sounds in the boat fairly well. If you drop something, it's more of a dull thud than a loud metallic sound!
Only thing is....on that Tracker boat.....some of your hatch covers are abs plastic...then part of the decks are plywood .....and part of them aluminum so you would be coating three different types of material. I think it would look better if you got some of that vinyle boat floor covering material from Cabelas and glued it down.
I saw some neat stuff on a new boat yesterday at bps. It was like a thick, dense foam material that was corrugated. Anyone know anything about that stuff?

I saw something similar in a boat at Bass Pro that was glued down and was coming loose on the underneath side of evry lid I opened.
The product is called hydroturf. It works really well. You have to be liberal with contact cement to get it to stick. It's expensive, but from what I understand it's super durable, keeps cool in the summer, doesn't freeze your dog's boys to the deck in the winter and helps quiet the boat down. You can sometimes get B stock from hydro turf for a little less money.
Just googled hydroturf. That stuff seems amazing. 1/4 inch thick closed cell foam in just about any color. Easy to install. Easy to clean. Not overly expensive. BUT! It is for flat surfaces. Don't see how you could wrap the edges of a compartment lid. They don't have any pics other than flat surfaces. It comes in either pre-glued(peel and stick) on for contact cement.

Just wondering David. Is the deck marine grade wood like my '02? Think anything will stay down if the wood swells/shrinks which I'm purty sure it does??
