 Hydroturf or duralax nonskid??? Ok I been debating on what I want to put in my boat after it's built. Either duralax nonskid or hydroturf. How durable is hydroturf? Is it hard to clean? Does it help any with not being slippery or is it pretty slippery? Please give all your opinions. Also should I use the self adhesive or glue? The boat will be an all around use boat so I want something that's gonna last

Re: Hydroturf or duralax nonskid??? Hydroturf, for sure. Easy to clean, seems to be pretty durable, and I don't think its too slick at all.
I used contact cement to glue mine down and it is holding well. Bought the factory seconds off their website for bout half price.

Re: Hydroturf or duralax nonskid??? How does the color hold up in the sun? And does blood or fish slime and stuff soak up in there? Or do the just wash off

Re: Hydroturf or duralax nonskid??? I've gotten some blood and guts on it bowfishing. Rinses right off and doesn't hold the smell. From what I've seen the color holds up pretty well. Mine is gray so it doesn't really have much to fade to, and its garaged on top of that.
