Howdy! I am in the process of tearing out my old carpet on my 17ft aluminum boat and installing Hydro Turf. I wanted to share my experiences with the installation. I have never done this before so I don't really know what I am doing lol. I plan to post pictures etc. along the way here. My project is sponsored by Hydro Turf. Thank you to Hydro Turf for sending me the EVA foam! There will be a video on my YouTube channel @4ReelAnglin' for the project coming soon.
I am using Xylol and Klean Strip Premium Stripper. I will be using Acetone for the final wipe before Hydro Turf.

Alright! I have started painting around the hatches and the Gun-nell. I am using white because that's what my boat color is and it should look good with my light grey Hydro-Turf.

I appreciate it Hogbreath! It turned out really good and I am very happy with it. If you want more details you can ask me and/or watch the video I made about it here:https://youtu.be/4PNHZgX1qPc?si=Eo6ZRStGmzTMG-Qq

SteezMacQueen, Hydro-Turf provided me with the material as a sponsorship, but I basically got it from Hydro-Turf: https://hydroturf.com/
Thanks! Iām gonna reach out to them and see if they can make me a precut(finished edge) for the cockpit area. My old carpet is a perfect fit, I think I can remove it and trace it to a pattern.
