DANA Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 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. Quote
DANA Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 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 Quote
DANA Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 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. Quote
Super User Way2slow Posted April 12, 2009 Super User Posted April 12, 2009 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. Quote
managermania Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Did you get the carpet at Lowe's or Home Depot, etc.? I am doing mine now and debating what to get. Quote
DANA Posted April 13, 2009 Author Posted April 13, 2009 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. Quote
DANA Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 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 Quote
Super User cart7t Posted April 19, 2009 Super User Posted April 19, 2009 Looks good so far. Is that Lowes or HD carpet? Quote
DANA Posted April 19, 2009 Author Posted April 19, 2009 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 Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 WOW, that's good man! Wish you lived close so you could re-do my boat! Quote
DANA Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 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 Quote
dmac14 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 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. Quote
Olebiker Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 You can never have too many clamps. . . or bricks. Quote
DANA Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 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 Quote
DANA Posted April 25, 2009 Author Posted April 25, 2009 Nope and I use every one them ;D You can never have too many clamps. . . or bricks. Quote
DANA Posted April 26, 2009 Author Posted April 26, 2009 Just put the carpet around the livewell...DAM IT LOOKS GOOD Quote
Sfritr Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 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 Quote
BassResource.com Advertiser FD. Posted May 16, 2009 BassResource.com Advertiser Posted May 16, 2009 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. Quote
DANA Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 I am done with the Boat Restoration May I present to you....The new tin can Quote
DANA Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 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. 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.
