    Do the darker colors still stay relatively cool in the summer sun? I have been wanting to put Gator Green down in my boat to somewhat match the factory Alumacraft jon boat paint. As of now, that dark green on aluminum makes it scorching hot. I have samples somewhere, I just can't ever remember to lay them out on the deck one hot day to test them lol.

    Absolutely! Buddy of mine has black in his aluminum boat. Not a problem. Naturally it's warm, but you his girlfriend lays on it in a bikini.

    Crap! You guys are gonna make me order hydro turf and do a complete boat tear down. I had this out of my system and gave up on hydroturf till this posting. It’s like a itch you can’t get rid of.

    Sweet! I'm going to order enough to do my decks asap. Went out a little late Saturday morning and the aluminum was already baking any part of me that touched it.

    I just checked and it is showing $119/sheet with adhesive backing. The checkout estimates shipping at $40 too (assuming 2 sheets ordered) That inline with what you paid?

    They also offer it through a boat outfitter called Gator Trax. They only have the green/brown/camo colors though as they mainly do duck boat sales. They list theirs at $98/sheet but don't explicitly say if they have adhesive backing. They also don't have a shipping estimate. Anyone know anything about them? I think they are where I got my samples from though.

    Depending which pattern you get, the price vary's. I got the flat gray which was $109. Shipping for 4 sheets was $73 I believe. A lot of people do order from gator Trax but I belive their colors are limited. Mine should be shipping out today. Hopefully I have it for the weekend.

    Makes sense, I only looked at the grooved sheets.

    Update us how the install goes!

    I'll post some pictures. This will be the second boat I've done but this one is bigger and more complex.

    Looks really good, but is that slick without the grooves
