Hobie's new Marine Mat
Hobie has a new product in their parts and accessories catalog and it's called Marine Mat. As one of the Fishing Team Top Guns I was offered a great deal to try a set on my new team boat.
It's a precut padded material with adhesive backing. and it comes in a few colors...I choose the Grey and Charcoal color for the camo PA but the color is so cool looking on the camo boat that I couldn't cover it and I decided to upgrade my older yellow PA with the kit. I asked Kevin Nakada at Hobie for some advise on the prep and he suggested pressure washing the boat first. The next step was to remove the factory installed black pads... and clean up all the glue residue with some de-natured alcohol... Laying out all the precut parts was next... The pads are adhesive backed and really easy to apply... I used a paint roller to be sure the adhesive was pushed down into the plastic... Be sure to press all along the edges to make contact and a good seal... I put a small pencil mark at the edge of a few pieces to make sure they fit on the spot perfectly... I think it came out pretty nice and the old girl looks like new....THANKS HOBIE AND MARINE MAT.....
