I've been tossing around the idea of having the inside of my boat sprayed with line-x or having carpet put in. I've had both quoted and they are both out of my price range. So I have decided to do most of the work myself. Problem is, is that I am in a time crunch and there is way to much carpeting to put in and roll on white duraliner type coatings are 2-3 day lead times. So I decided to go with lining the sides of the boat and around the seat pedestals and putting carpet on the main floor. My question is since I am only doing the sides and not anywhere where someone is walking, will an epoxy floor coating work? I can order it through grainger and have it in a few hours.

Thanks, even if it is meant for outdoor use? And I just looked at the product again, it is not an epoxy but an oil based acrylic urethane.

For good answers it's nice to have a little more info. Type of boat, what it's made of (wood, Glass, Aluminum), how you plan to use it, how long do you want to keep it, budget, etc. There are many options.
