Anybody know of, or had any experience using Rhino Truck bed lining to cover a deck. For those not familiar with it, it is a spray on Vinyl? with a random pattern. Seems very tough but might be too slipery without an additive. Seems like it would be waterproof and tuff. Hate to tink how you would remove it if necessary.

If them decks an't white,
they can get real hot on a sunny summer day. And lets not forget about the need to expel water from both the sea and sky.

I know of one commercial sport fishing vessel that is using the Rhino Lining for the cockpit sole with success. I'm sure there are others.

RhinoSlick, LineX Not
When I had my pickup bed done, I chose LineX spray in vinyl due largely to the non-skid properties of the finish. I felt that the RhinoLinings that I had seen all seemed very slick, where the LineX has a very definite non-skid feel to it - enough to cause serious "road-rash" if you scuffed your skin against it. But enough to keep stuff from sliding around the truck bed too. They market it for use in a number of places, the inside of an aluminum fishing boat being the one that I thought made really good sense. Seems Like it would be ugly on a sailboat though.

A bunch of the commercial fishermen around here have had their inflatables Rhino coated. They're just about impossible to damage! Justin - O'day OWners' Web

Check this out
Take a look at this coating. http://www.nonslipcoating.com/ Durabak 18 is a UV protected polyurethane coating with rubber granules. You can roll it on yourself. Line-X and Rhinolining can both be sprayed so as to not be as rough as they would spray truck bedliners. It'll save on the knees, but you may have to look for a installer that has done boats, so he knows how to smooth it out. Troy

I think they must be permanently hard. All the guys I know treat them that way, anyway. I'd think deflating and rolling the tubes would crack the coating off. Most of them use their inflatables because they make great work platforms with all the boyance at the edges. They're not worried much about stability. Justin - O'day Owners' Web

some thoughts
It sounded good to me, then I thought about it, and asked an expert. According to "my" expert on Rhino products there are four points worth considering. 1) If it is a colored (it all starts clear)version than it needs to have a UV coating applied on top. Or it will fade pretty quick. 2) See number one. This will make it slick when wet. 3) You can add texture, but you will need to put it under your UV coating. Now you will have a three step process. $$$ ? 4) The process could add an estimated 100 pounds or so to the boat, at deck height. Consider your intended use this might not matter. Let us know how it goes. Brian
