    Yes sir I understand that. I had a Nitro and it was comfortable to fish out of. It cost me a lot more money all the way around though. I didn't catch any more fish from it than I had out of jon boats over the years so I down sized.

    Those are a heavy recycled car tire rugs. I bought rugs, cut to fit, and glued them down. Really quiet and seems to be pretty durable. Cheaper than hydroturf and way better than carpet.

    Where did you get them? They look good. Do they get hot in the sun?

    They get warm, not unbearable though. You can get them at Lowe's or somewhere like that. I think that took like 3 of the 5'x6' rugs. They are heavy, probably 30lbs each or so.
