    If the boat is older, mine I think is a 1970, the floor will show cracks a lot more than a newer one. I used to repair plywood and gelcoat once a year to stop seepage.
    It was not fun. Since I had the rino liner sprayed in and up all sides a couple inches, all I do now is fish. No more itchy scratchy.

    I'm seriously thinkin' bout' using that heavy garage-floor vinyl roll stuff they sell at Costco. It goes on sale for $150.00 or so and there's probably enough to do a couple or more average sized boats. That stuff is bullet-proof, impervious to oil/gas etc. and should provide good traction with all the dimple things on it.

    My only concern is that it's quite dark in colour and might be a bitch in the heat of summer.
