Do you guys think a 12' Jon boat would slide in and out of the bed on one of these mats, or will it be too grippy?

I love the idea of protecting my K20's bed with a mat like this, but I gotta be able to slide an aluminum boat in and out by myself.

I've got supply chain PTSD! I saw this thread pop up and panicked hardcore at like 5:20 this morning immediately buying one for my square. Several hours and cups of coffee later I circle back and realize this was an old thread and they had the mats in stock o_O Well - looks like I am way ahead on that part of my build, lol!

It's nice. It looks just like the vintage OE mat in my truck (except for the Holley logo).

Whats on the rest of your bedsides - black paint? Or a spray in bedliner?

My bed is clean and pristine except for the six 50c sized holes for a 5th wheel and one wallered out hole for the carriage bolt. Too much mess to weld them all shut - was going to get a mat or a bedliner. If shipping and supply lines weren't so nuts, I'd almost get just a new bed floor from AMD.

Do you have long bed floors in stock?

Its a catch-22.....need the truck I'm building to come get the parts for the truck I'm building. CANNOT imagine what shipping on that thing would be to OH.

Unfortunately no. We used to get the bed floors from Woodall and they went for nearly 2 years not being able to supply us any. So we developed our own shortbed floors but have not done longbed. We can't justify the tooling costs, so we're trying to source the longbed from someone else. Freight on that thing to OH would be $299 plus a crating fee (I think it's $135 for that last I looked cuz lumber is so outrageous right now).

Rock is showing stock in a bed floor by Goodmark. No idea on the quality but its over $900 and after tax/shipping, falls north of $1200 delivered. Ouch.

There is a bed in a local yard that doesn't look terrible (floor wise). For $1200, can do alot of patchwork too.

Couldn't say, I haven't seen a Goodmark floor in person. If you can get a halfway decent floor at a yard that doesn't need too much work, I think that's the route I'd go
