[QUOTE="inlovewithsurfin, post: 276083, member: 9011"] as far as the priming before bedliner... i would say yes you should prime but i am not an expert on that? i typically just scuff up the surface, clean it, and then paint on top of that. and for your question about the seats... well originally i only used 1in self tapping screws and they werent long enough to get more than a couple threads into the metal of the bench seat and they did pull out a bit. so i went with the longer screws and everything was fine. i cant answer about how it felt going 15mph cause that little 7hp wouldnt push me more than 5mph! lol... there were secure enough for me! i didnt use the smallest diameter screws though? i went with pretty thick screws to give as much surface area as possible to grab. i would say you can try it the way i did it and if it doesnt work for you then you really didnt screw anything up? :) do you know how much that rustoleum bedliner kit from walmart cost? and does it come in other colors besides black? i may have to look into that! i am wanting to bedline the bottom of the inside of my boat. good luck in whatever you decide to do to your boat! the first one is always trial and error! :) [/QUOTE]
