I was wondering if anybody has tried those spray in truck bed liner materials on bottoms of thier drift boats. I had a Rhino liner sprayed into my truck and I love it, but I think it would be to sticky for a drift boat. Something like Linex or Duraliner?
Thanks, Gary

I think you're right Gary. Too sticky. I can't remember the name of the modern era stuff that's better than Gluvit. Anyone? (Hey big GT, you aren't still trying to run the near drybed 'Tucca still are you? I think you can ride your tricycle down it now! ).
I think a skateboard would be a little better, get some speed on the rocks and surf the riffles I've got Coat-it under there now, durable but as you know not the greatest. Maybe the Coat-it just wasn't thick enough? 1 gallon was about 1/16 - 1/8 thick across the whole bottom. Gonna start fixing the cracks, just wondering if there is something better I havn't heard of. Maybe I should just avoid all those rocks?

I wouldn't recomend it for driftboat bottoms, but have had great sucess using it on your anchor, it keeps your anchor from rusting and also does not ding the aluminum up on your boat while riding that 8 foot swell and crashing into the next one.
I have used Glu-vit on the bottom of my wood driftboat for years. As it scratches and wears, over time, I just paint a new layer on. I goes on like real thick paint, and it takes a long time to dry, so you dont have to hurry.
Over on Bob's board (www.piscatorialpursuits.com)there was this same discussion. From what I remember a couple of the guys had either line-x or the rhino lining sprayed on their drift boat bottoms but had them make it a smooth finish and not the rough finish. I could see where this would work with the line-x, I have that in my truck bed and it is fairly hard. From what I understand the rhino lining is softer. Use the search feature and you should be able to find the thread.
Good luck and tight lines, Jeff
