Post Best HARD bottom coat?
I was hoping yall could help me pick a bottom paint for a 12ft flat bottom that will have a small surface drive on it. It will likely be hitting some rocks and gravel and will be drug across rocks and gravel on dry ground. I hear good stuff about the gator glide but Im not sure the G4 will hold up to that kind of use. Is there a better option out there?

What would the weight be to cover the bottom of a 1232? I really dont need to be adding much weight to the hull. It doesnt matter a whole lot if I tear the boat up but I would prefer not to. Adding 25+lbs isnt an option though for a boat that will be launched by hand with one person.

I used "Coat It" on my boat. Much cheaper than Steel Flex and just as good, but you have to use twice the recommended coverage.
