Added some hydro today.

That really looks sweet. Maybe it is my eyes but is the one section installed in the wrong direction?

Dangit! You were not supposed to bring that up. Yes it is. I didn't notice it until it was to late. And I did not have enough material left to correct. I suppose I'll fix it at some point. Going to give it some time to see what kind of wear we get from the Hydro. My wife thought I was just trying to break up the pattern....

I think it looks better, breaks it up otherwise it's one long continuous line..

I'd say that is by design - braille system to help you find your way back to the driver's seat after the booze cruise or when it's REALLY dark.

So did you cut all of those pieces by hand or did you have someone do it? And what did you replace, carpet? Really looks great. I wish I had white floors under my carpet and I would do that in a heart beat.

Well after putting down two coats of bed liner in the rear lockers I didn't like how it looked with all weird dents and bumps on the floor. So I just used the rest of my hydro and put a strip in the middle to kind of break it up. All most done just need some trim and after putting the engine doors back in I'll be all done and ready for the season.

smorris - I vote leave it as is. I think it looks great, and agree that it breaks up the pattern nicely.

Any feedback on if the hydroturf gets hot? My grey carpet gets super hot in the summers, so i would look into this if it doesn't.

Replaced my snap in carpet. Yes, I cut each piece with an exacto knife. Made my patterns out of white banner paper. Thanks

This thread has sealed it. I want Hydroturf. Hate the carpet, all of it. I've already done my lockers with roll in bedliner, here is the write up on that if you're curious; https://forum.moomba.com/showthread....re-wet-lockers

So just to do the interior and cockpit floors, not the rear bench or cupholder areas, how many sheets of the diamond stuff do I need to order? I like the color Trayson used, as my carpet is that Moomba grey too. The grey Hydro should look perfect. And can someone throw up the link to the site again to the sheets of turf?

www.pwcmuscle.com probably going to have to talk to Derek if you want the b-stock diamond molded like I used. ask for the 15% discount.

I don't know how many sheets. I used less because I have a playpen bow. I have only used 3 so far to do my boat. But I ordered 4 as I'm going to do a little more.

I was lucky and able to get the full 40" x 62" on my sheets. Do you measurements and take into consideration the extra you'll need to wrap around the side and bottoms of the panels.

My carpet got hot also. Don't think the hydro will be as bad. I'll let you know come July! I know the Sea Deck doesn't really get hot so I would assume Hydro is the same.
