Been wanting to start this one for a while. Here is the before picture and I have it apart and had it complete plastic bead blasted. Ready for some tig welding on rivets and some exterior paint. First question. Who has linex the interior for leak prevention and no slip?

I "ALMOST" put the bedliner in my 1236 V-hull with bare floor, no decking. . . .
for the very reason you speak of. Waterproofing and non slip.
Personally, I don't know if there are different types of Linex.
ie: gritty/bumpy for non-slip, sealing properties, etc.

This is what steered me AGAINST the coating.
while helping my neighbor remove a washing machine out of his truck,
I had on rubber soled deck shoes that I normally wear all the time and when in the bed of his truck,
I found that oil and water on his lining was VERY VERY SLIPPERY !!!!
That has been my ONLY experience with bedliner thus far, but it was
enough of an experience for me to NEVER put that stuff on a boat.
And yes, this guy is a handyman, so he has all kinds of junk in his truck bed.
spilled paint, oil, sand, dirt, water, etc etc etc. The liner does its intended job
very well in his truck. for me personally, it is not for a boat floor.
but, it is YOUR CALL if you want to do it to your boat or not.

and another question - once it is applied to "anything" how do you get it OFF ???
I think most advertisements say it is impervious to most oils, acids and paint removers.

Yea I been really debating it too. I am going to skip it and just do a nice flooring. I will post more pictures tomorrow of the sanded look. Should be doing the tig welding this weekend and painting during the next week. Hopefully I will get some good input. Has anyone tried the g5 sliders? They look nifty.

We'll project is underway. Have a small crack in a seem I need to putty up. Ordered all of the stuff for the trailer. Just deciding to paint or not to paint. After that it's building interior and look for a bigger motor for the large lake by my house. Inside should be couple of chairs and a little but of light set up for night fishing.
