For longevity sake use ACX sanded ply. Laminate it thoroughly and then use 1708 biaxial cloth for a few layers. Make sure to overlap with cloth 4 inches at the edges. Should last longer than the rest...
Thanks Castingcall. That storage carpet is actually a single piece of carpet. Took me all day trim but it was worth the effort
Close to finishing front deck

Still have to glue the rearward facing portion of console carpet and there’s a few seams left to weave...
Great lakes skipper.com has oem flooring materials from various boat manufacturers.
Currently I call mine : ratpisssh*td**ka$$holemotherflipper but once I finally finish restoring it I’ll just call it the bumblebee
It depends on the end goal. If you are interested in perceived value or re-sale then I would absolutely agree with this statement. I actually think this is great advice for 99% of anglers.

thank you sir. In post #34 the boat is suspended by chain hoists. One on bow eye. One by transom eyes. I used tow straps, you can fold the ends and squeeze into tow eyes. The jack stands are to keep...

Boat looks ANGRY ! Actually it looks pissed off. Can’t wait to see an outboard hanging off the transom.
Ok fellas thanks for the compliments! I’ve been making some more progress. I was on hold waiting on pedestals/bases from Llebroc but they expedited the shipping to get me going quicker....
Good lord this champion is going to be SOLID ! Looking forward to seeing the finished product
There would be a few limiting factors to using it in place of carpet.
-you’d need multiple rolls to do boat so there would be seams.
-it’s certainly going to be a sun magnet so it would get...
Looks solid! Those black max motors sound mean as hell .
Thanks fellas. SPC “diamond EVA black” it’s sold in a roll large enough to do the bow multiple times or use in other areas
Recently, I took on the task of including a custom bow step on my ‘90 hull. The ease of install plus the finished product convinced me to share here in general topics. ...
Cool project. Great progress, subscribed.
Steward Products Company “diamond EVA black” is the product name. Comes in a roll big enough to do the bow four or five times and it seems pretty durable. Thanks for the compliments
