Weldwood red can for sure. Its awesome on boat carpet.
What he said. That stuff holds tight and works great in marine carpet.
Just finished wet sand 1000, 1500, 2000. I chose Meguairs boat restoration kit. Buffed the oxidation remover with wool pad, then used foam pad with the polish, and lastly waxed by hand. Took me most...
Nice rig. Did you buy it from Duck River Marine? Looks like one of their remodels. They do good work.
Lay them out in the sun for a couple hours and get a friend to help stretch them on while you staple. Really not that difficult but depends on how good your foam underneath is. The key is to work in...
She's a beaut Clark...Enjoy
A low hour Z21 will last you much longer and offer a better ride. Best way to buy a boat is when you dont have to and can shop for a deal. They are out there, I would start looking.
24 fury 4 blade and a chris bailey foil seem to be the ticket for whole shot on the bigger rangers.
I dont know about Ranger doing this but I know first hand that you can breathe life back into them yourself. I took a 1989 363V and did the following. Seat reupholstered, wet sand of gel coat,...
So, after my last post about my opti I am taking the advice and moving on to a newer motor. Looking at one right now and curious what exactly I should be concerned about. Here is what I was told. ...
Saw the scope myself. Holes are completely covered up inside the cylinder. Decided to re-power.
So my motor only runs 4200 rpms. Local shop says it has a twisted sleeve on cylinder 1 but everything else on the motor checks out. I got taken for a ride by the previous owner and was told it had...
There are tons of pics on here, just search for carpet. Personally I rolled mine all the way over and then reattched the hinges with stainless steel screws I purchased from HomeDepot. Take your...
Can you post a picture?
Not sure what you mean by FAST. I pulled every bit of the carpet out of my Ranger by just peeling up an edge and working it back by hand. Had it all out in full pieces in less than 30 mins.
Wet sanding, compound, and finish glaze will bring it back. But it's a lot of tough labor. You may need to drop down to 800 grit and start there.

Just finished my entire boat carpet job with Weldwood Contact cement. I used a large bristle brush and it did a great job. Use your tongue jack to level out your boat so it doesn't run. Also, you...
I have had foils on every boat I have ever owned. Will definately improve your on plane time and keep you on plane at lower speeds. Personally I am a fan of the smaller style like the one pictured...
FINALLY DONE...! Restoration is complete for now. Gonna get official Ranger seat skins later on. Here is what all was done:
Wet sand, compound, and glaze entire boat and trailer fenders.
New...

I'm quickly losing respect for many of you posting on this topic. I don't know what rock you live under or what left-sided hippe liberals raised some of you, but this man Zimmerman is innocent until...
