    Same as everybody else...
    I just installed mine, excellent product with easy installation. You may want to look into this option with the spray in Bedliner to boot. Fido gets a slip free surface and you'll get a tailgate that you won't be afraid of punching a hole through.

    Do you have pictures of the boat? Does the herculiner seal decently? I got a fiberglass boat that I bought a few years ago and the guy I bought it from does high end bathrooms. He affixed the front trolling motor with a silicone adhesive that I cannot get off without cracking the fiberglass. Now it has a pretty good crack from the trolling motor hitting docks and what not. Just curious if some herculiner would get me by for a few more years.

    Stall mat from Tractor Supply. Longer screws with same pitch as original tailgate screws from Lowes. Total; $26. Dogs love it.

    Went to tractor supply to see what they had in the way of rubber mats, saw they sold stall mat by the foot, $14 later and I have a non slippery tailgate. Super easy, probably the cheapest and quickest way to get the most amount of grip. Lots of other great ideas from you guys in here, thank you for the help!

    How thick, and does it cover the whole tailgate?
