Well after riding my mountain bike around town this weekend I decided to cut out the carpet for the boat, the carpet is not glued down yet; I will start that next weekend that's if I don't have to do any overtime.

Looks like it's coming along nice!

Well after getting some time off from work I finally finished putting the carpet on the lids and the seat plats. I used contact cement that stuff works grate, this weekend I will start putting the carpet in the boat, I really need to get this done because I am going through withdrawals

Well I just got done gluing down other parts of the carpet, it's coming along pretty good, and all I need is some good worm weather and the glue will dry faster.

If you had used this, http://www.dap.com/product_details.aspx?product_id=35, it would have made your life a hellavalot simpler.

Also, I hope you cut everything on the same grain. If not, it can make your carpet look two-toned, depending on how the light hits it.

Did you get the carpet at Lowe's or Home Depot, etc.?  I am doing mine now and debating what to get.

Up date 4/12 Well this is how I spent my Easter Sunday, I pulled everything off the rod lockers it came out perfect, I finished one of the rod lockers and glued down the carpet on the front casting deck, Monday I will do more.

Woke up early today and did more carpet work, I also had to make something that would hold the end of the rods up when they are in the rod tube's

Looks good so far.  Is that Lowes or HD carpet?  

Yep

Just got done with all the sides, I also installed a boat glove box, Monday I should be ready to put the carpet on the floor and the back

WOW, that's good man! Wish you lived close so you could re-do my boat!

;D Dam I could have made some money  ;D

Just got done with the left rod locker

Looks great, How much did the whole thing cost?

Do you have a price list of all materials used etc.

I am looking at decking a boat but on limited funds, found a boat and motor for $35 and picked up a 55# bow mount TM for $100.

You can never have too many clamps. . .  or bricks.

I ordered some flex / lip trim plastic molding to put on the inside lip of the rod lockers, so what do you think? I like it

Nope and I use every one them  ;D

Just put the carpet around the livewell...DAM IT LOOKS GOOD

That looks great!   Did you get a bid on how much to have it done?  I have a 96 Stratos that I am looking to recarpet and don't know if i have the time or the patience to do it myself

Man you really do good work!

UP DATE 5/13 MORE PIC

Whatever you do for a living, you are in the wrong line of work.  That is some incredible workmanship.  Just Awesome.  I can't wait to see the finished pics.

I am done with the Boat Restoration

May I present to you....The new tin can

Well let see I got the boat for free, I spent a $ 1,000 to get the motor running, the fuel pump was shot. I didn't keep a price list, I think I put about $ 1,800 plus the & 1,000 for the motor = $2,800 that's is still a good price, it's nice to have good friends at work with hook ups to save you money.
