I have read quite a few threads about rhino liner and other truck bed liners being used on boat decks and most people say it is a poor solution. I am painting my Montauk with awlcraft 2000 and have no concerns with the paint system except on the nonskid. The reason being, I take my dogs out on the boat and I wonder if the awlcraft nonskid will hold up to the dogs nails and rough treatment...
I found a product online and wonder what all of "you" think about it and if possibly someone out there has used it before. It is called Tuff Hide II by Rhino Hide

Any thought would be appreciated!
I was thinking of coating the entire interior of the boat with Line-x or Rhino liner, but that stuff would be hell on bare feet! The thing that attracted me to the Tuff-Hide is that it uses small rubber particles and I think it would therefore be "kinder" on the feet... The dry deck would work, but it wouldn't wrap up the sides. With the Tuff Hide, I would not have to fair the interior hullsides to the level of perfection that Awlcraft requires.
Bluewater,
I just redid my 13 with Awlcraft 2000. I rolled the nonskid out with the awlgrip griptex (coarse). Its only been 2-3 weeks but its held up great. I think it will hold up with the dogs. We sprayed the insides first and came out great. Then rolled the nonskid.
