    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    What is the risk? Are we talking hull collapse or a slow casual sink? I'm new to this and reading only does so much, experience matters significantly. I don't mind risking myself, it's my family and kids that matter.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    Right? It's a waterproof rubber basically, in theory it should work. Clean and scuff the surface for proper bonding and away I should be able to go. Hoping the hull is fine anyway, I just like looking forward. Shouldn't really be a reason why it doesn't float honestly.

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    I was just looking for a cheap and quick way to make it float if for whatever reason it decides not too. Only reason I purchased is to just get a little off of shore. Went on a friends boat for fishing last year and now I can't help myself, minus the wanting to spend 5k for a decent used or 60...

    Bed liner for fiberglass hull

    New to owning a boat, bought a junker last fall for 300 bucks. I'm curious if anyone has any experience with using spray on bed liner to coat the entire hull for waterproofing? I've read a little now on performance and osmosis if water gets trapped in a bubble and what not. I just need it to...
