 BLACK HYDRO TURF/ PAINT JOB IN HOUSTON AREA
Guys does the black hydro turf get hot and were can I get enought to cover a 1860 gd. i am thinking 4 sheets would do a good amount any suggestions.
Also I hear that camo desighns by ricky is good. However long haul from Houston has any one found anything in the area that can put some grass on the boat. Thanks
I also tried the search button before posting this so please dont remind me that there is a search...

 Re: BLACK HYDRO TURF/ PAINT JOB IN HOUSTON AREA
I searched before I ordered my turf and all my research ppl say bc of the material black does not get hot and I have a 17/50 and I ordered molded diamond and I ordered 5 sheets and I didn't have a lot left! Just depends on what size sheets you are thinking ab ordering but I really like the black

 Re: BLACK HYDRO TURF/ PAINT JOB IN HOUSTON AREA
Is hydro turf easily cleaned once you get some mud and other crap on it?

 Re: BLACK HYDRO TURF/ PAINT JOB IN HOUSTON AREA
checking out the clearance rack hydro turf and they have a "B" cut says it has a few flaws but maybe would be worth looking into if someone was interested in Black diamond I looking at going with it myself now that i seen yours and yeah i was thinking might take more time to lay and match the cut but would be worth it.
