    Default Hydro-Turf Help

    I have a new swamp/river boat project. Never been around the hydro-turf but it look sweet when done right.
    Show me some pics?
    Where is best place to buy it?
    any tips?

    Directly from them. Get it with the glue already on it and look at their sheets of seconds. And dont pass out when they quote the shipping.

    Also you can get it from Gatortrax in additional camo patterns.

    Order it from HT direct. Save yourself the hassle and get the material with the 3M backing.

    I've had hydroturf in 2 boats but on my current boat I went with the blacktip jetsports traction mat. They have bigger sheets for cheaper than the turf and personally, I like it better.

    used blacktip flooring off amazon in my last boat & my current boat, same as hydroturf, less options on color/pattern, but much lower price & larger sheets for less/zero seams

    order from HT and get the backing.....b class or whatever they call their defective stuff is plenty good and saves what you'll spend on shipping......put mine down on diamond plate and seems to stick just fine

    Depending on where you're at, Cooper River Marine might be the best. Can pick up instead of paying shipping.

    I bought with the 3m on it, it's made it five years I'm guessing.

    You can do a big boat with one can gallon of red contact cement and you will save yourself alot of money. Its very easy.
    I take an PLB in the shower with me. Can't ever be too safe.

    Whats it like to live w/o the Internet? Not bad, I get photos of your mom thought the mail....

    Cooper river is cheapest period.....but they run out pretty quick when it comes in stock
    When in doubt, shoot him again!

    Work like it's all up to me, but pray, like it's all up to him!

    If you are undecided about colors call them and they will send you some sample pieces.

    I purchased the seconds without backing directly from HT and used contact cement. Been 4 or 5 yrs. and still holding strong.
