My boat's been on back burner. Too much work is sometimes a good thing, but I'm ready to play too...

Exact same stuff as hydro turf. I have had 2 boats with ht and this boat has the sears stuff. Same shit...eva foam. Not hot at all. The cushion is great as well as durability and heat resistance. Exactly the same as grey hydro turf except the top has a smoother, more closed cell surface

Post Re: Hydroturf Alternative
Well I layed my floor out tonight with the sears special. Came out pretty good for my first time laying out "hydroturf" I think. Don't mind the objects on the floor. My dad (mr let me do it) did the middle section of the floor and caused a few air bubbles. Haha I bought 2 rolls and have a good bit of scrap pieces left. I used 3m 90 series spray adhesive. Will let y'all know how it holds up over Memorial Day weekend.

Bump for another update, does anybody know if you can order wider sheets to avoid seams on a 54" wide boat?

Nice, thank you for the update. I assume you used the same adhesive as everybody else? Either weldwood or the 3M spray?

My buddy's is still holding up in his boat, and where i put it in mine is holding up as well. There are little marks from dog claws in the locations the dog would launch from, and it is worn lightly where the seats where while hunting.

Post Re: Hydroturf Alternative
I'd guess that is to be expected though. I'd assume that the locations there is wear would be there if it was hydro turf also since everybody is saying it's the same product essentially.

It's doesn't absorb water at all? Any issues with the cold weather and ice? Does it get slick at all?

Post Re: Hydroturf Alternative
I have hydro on one boat and sears turf in my other one. Both will freeze over but neither seem to hold water and neither seem to get slick even with fish slime all over them. I will go with the sears stuff from now on due to cost.

They only come in the one size. I had the same problem in my boat as I've got a 56" bottom. They rolls aren't perfectly square so I ran them sideways and seamed them tight. It's held up well and looks the same as the day I installed it, I've got a few claw marks from the dog launching off the front deck but it's not falling apart. The few days I hunted in the snow/ice it wasn't slick and stayed pretty soft. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

I know this is an old theead, but I just picked up 2 rolls from tractor supply for 13.50 per roll.. A good bit cheaper than on the Sears website.. Just figured I'd let yall know if anyone was thinking about buying some to put in their boat.
