 Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf Swapped out my sears foam mat for Duk Grass hydroturf. I'm pleased with the way it came out and I like the feel if this pattern better than the sears mats.

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf I'm with you, due to cost I'm about to put the Sears stuff in mine.
How was it getting the old stuff out?

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf I bought the Sears stuff because it was cheaper but after ripping it a couple times, I started looking at the hydroturf. Ended up getting two sheets as a birthday gift.
Taking the old stuff out wasn't too bad. I used one of the oscillating tools with a scraper attachment, then a sanding block. Wiped all the surfaces down with acetone before putting the new stuff in.

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf I have hydroturf on front deck & box tops. And I have the Sears stuff on the floor. I don't know if it was just mine, but the Sears stuff leaves a black residue on everything now (my feet, shoes, bottom of ice chests, life jackets, etc) so I'm about to rip out & put HT on floor as well.

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf Does your boat stay outside?

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf My buddy put the sears stuff on top of his yeti and it stayed in his truck for a year. Pretty much deteriorated from sun exposure

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf if your boat stays in direct sunlight it doesn't matter what you put down.

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf I just put the sears stuff in mine. For $50 total I'll be happy if it lasts 2 years and I'll do it again.

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf The hydroturf I've used lasts. It's on Same boat, same sunlight but sears crap deteriorating, hydroturf is not. Sears stuff didn't last 1 year.
On my last boat, hydroturf was on for 2 years when I sold it & it was holding up fine. It was also stored under the same sunlight.

Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf I'm hoping that the best step mat will last a while in mine since it's stored indoors full time. I just wasnt going to drop the money on the turf right now.

Re: Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf Can you give some more details on removing the old glue/residue without damaging the paint? Seems to me like sanding/acetone would destroy the paint/liner coating..

Before / After - Sears mat to Hydroturf I used an oscillatiing tool with blade tip to remove 99% of the old turf. Then a sanding sponge to get most of the remaining bits. A rag with acetone was used to wipe down all the surfaces before sticking down the new turf. There were really no other tricks. I guess the paint/primer combo used on my boat is pretty tuff because it didn't seem to come off very easily while sanding.
