[QUOTE="Drothgeb, post: 469718, member: 22414"] I’ve been really busy lately, but finally got a chance to apply the final coats of “Monstaliner” to hull. Monstaliner is a truck bedliner material that stays pretty flexible after it hardens. I did it for scuff resistance, to ensure there’s no leaks around the rivets, and it looks cool too. I sandblasted the surfaces, then acid etched, then a couple of coats of DTM epoxy primer. After that, I rolled on a few coats of Monstaliner, then used a undercoating gun to splatter on a couple of final coats. Ended up with a nice rugged texture. On the bottom of the boat, after rolling on the Monstaliner, I applied a number of coats of “Gator Glide”. It’s a slick coating meant for air boats. It will help with sliding the boat over lily pads and vegetation in the lake and, it makes it easier to unload and load the boat on the trailer. Might even pick up a mph or two at wot. [/QUOTE]
