I called them today to inquire about their flooring. It sounds like some pretty awesome stuff. For them to install it in my 16' Hewescraft river runner it would be $975. That includes material, labor, and the finish coating. They also have a bottom coating they could apply that sounds pretty sweet as well.
Anybody heard of this stuff or know anyone who's used it on their boat?

I would imagine the flooring is pretty good stuff, they've made quite a name for themselves in drift boating circles and are making their way into jetboats in a big way. The bottom coating is hugely tough stuff. I'm told by some folks that have had it done, it's much better than the old stand byes Glovit and Coatit. Back to the flooring, I know a couple guys that were set to go with it then decided to go with StarBoard Lite. It was considerably cheaper when it got to the installed price and it's impervious to water.

Who carries the Starboard Lite? Anyone on the Westside sell it or install it?

This is the manufacturer, I believe they do direct sales. They also have a product called Hy-Pact that is a VHMW-PE product that's almost indestructible. There's a company building drift boats out of it, very cool.

I also think you can buy from Tap Plastics. Pacific Powertrain was doing floors I believe but they're in ID.
