Anyone know someone who installs hydroturf or someone who has installed their own and is willing to help me out. My rig is getting close to head to paint and I want to turf it. But I really don't wanna mess it up. |

If you can find someone that is good at putting on window tint might be good help, them fellas have a lot of patience . Measure twice and cut once. |

Gatortrax will sell me the turf and install it for about $900. I have no idea if that is a good price or not. |

Scott it's not hard. I used some brown wrapping paper to make a template of the areas that had to be cut out. You can do it yourself for much cheaper. I think the sheets are about the same price all over. |

No chit, for 900.00 I bet they will. 350.00 in turf and supplies along with a day or so of time will get it gone too. |

The problem is, the color I like is a Gatortrax exclusive. Might have to buy it from them and attempt to install it myself. |

It is really simple. It cuts really easy with a razor blade. All you need is a good surface to work on (sheet of plywood), a good straight edge and a little time. And the backing is over rated and extremely over priced but its your money. A qt of the HT recommended Weldwood glue will go along way, for about 15.00 too. |

I thought I read that you have to cut it a little smaller than you want it because it swells from the glue. |

buy it from gator trax as you stated then call gator tail and ask them what they will charge you to put it in your boat. |

GT was about $700 or $800 for a 18 ft boat, that's turf and labor, wouldn't hurt to check though. |

I'm gonna check around for prices. I'll probably wait till my boat comes back from pait to decide what I'm gonna do with it. I want to see the finished paint before i choose a turf color. |

x2 i was going to laydown HT and i may still do so whenever the paint wears off the floor, but when i got my boat back from camo designs, the floor matched with the camo and not just a solid color and also had crushed walnut shells for non sked.....really looked good and had great traction whether it was dry or wet. |

| Post subject: | Re: Hydroturf installation in SE Louisiana?? |
I agree on the floor matching the boat. But, i want by better half to spend more time in the boat and she likes to be barefoot. The turf would definately be easier on her feets!! |

She don't bitch about it. Just trying to make it have something nice for her. I mean, we arent married yet, but she has been great thru this whole build process. Hell, she's even asked how much longer till the boat is ready? |

Call Hunter. I set him up with the prices and I'd be the one installing it. |

Uncle J took care of me once again. Got me a price to purchase and install that I couldn't pass up. So the next time i see my boat, it'll have a motor, custom paint, and hydroturf!!!! |
