    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (cart7)

    FYI for anyone considering an upgrade to newer model of seats. The 04-05 X Series can be ordered with springs in them. It makes hitting the wake and waves a little less painful. You can view them on our web site: http://www.candomarineparts.com
    and of course you can call me to order them, check current stock, discuss color options, etc!! We also have a variety of panels/faceplates, dashes, glovebox doors, shrouds.........

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (jtomlin)

    I applaud your patience and skill. I, too, have a Triton in need of carpet replacement and seat repair and have not yet summoned the courage to lauch into the job.

    Can you please explain how you removed the seats. Was it necessary to first remove the panels you described or were they removed by some other process?

    I appreciate any help you can give.

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (Slant)

    You can remove the seats without taking the panel out. It depends on the model boat, as to how the seats are attached. They all will have screws under the seat bottom on the ledge closest to the floor of the boat. You can take a phillips screw driver and remove these. Then there is two screws on the outside edge of the middle seat cushion on the back of the seat. It would be best to post something on the forum with your model boat and let one of the dealers see if they can better explain how to remove the seats. Hope this helps.

    Hey Justin, Awesome job!!!
    Youve inspired me to tackle my TR19,
    Been watching your posts, one question?
    You said you wished you would have used padding on the whole job.
    is that lids and all ? and how do you glue with padding, glue then pad and more
    glue on top of the pad or what??? I dont understand how you hold the carpet down
    when pad is installed. Probably a dumb question!!
    Again GREAT JOB and thanks for all the info

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (Adub)

    Yes, I wished I would have done the hole entire boat. I only did the very front of the front deck and the first compartment lid. I glued the pad down and then glued the carpet to the pad. Not a dumb question, the only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

    She still reminds me from time to time on all the hard work she put into the boat carpet.

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (flippinidiot5977)

    I used a skill saw with a carbide tip blade. It gives you a very straight cut and smooth edges. The skill saw actually cut to just the right depth for the recess box. I had to take a saw-jaw and cut the inside of the front compartment. I bought my trolling motor recess box at Clark Marine. As far as a glove box, I have a small 3" x 8" compartment just above the key area that I keep most small items. I believe it is where a radio would typically be installed. Anything else I need to store, I have a small rubbermaid storage box that I keep in the storage compartment up front to put that stuff in.

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (buster502)

    Hey Justin, Its me again!! Adub,,,, Got all my carpet up and old glue off of my TR19 and was going to order my carpet from Basscat but I think they are closed due to the ice storm,
    Im still debating on the 24oz from Bass Cat or the 20oz from Bas-car,
    My lids are already tight with the old carpet, I can hardly open them from out side the boat, I have to get up into the boat and get an upwards pull to get em open.
    Im afraid if I go with the 24oz I may run into more problems that I want.
    were yours that tight with the original carpet , I sure like the looks of that 24oz!
    I bet it feels nice on the feet too! This is too much work to be disappointed with the outcome.
    Thanks for all the info on this post

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (Adub)

    Mine was not tight with the old carpet and they are a little tight with the new, but I like how it is. If you go with the 24 oz carpet from Basscat, you can always take a pair of trimmers and thin the carpet on the edges to make the lids loosen up. Good Luck.

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (GregInAtl)

    Greg&lt; I thought about precut kits but ended up just using a roll, cutting the carpet really is not that big of a deal compared to all the other work involved and you can customize as desired, heres some pics of my project, good luck, a lot of work but worth every hour and dollar

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (jtomlin)

    your carpet looks great. i have done alot of carpet jobs for friends boats and that looks great. if you can find it,"wilsonart 500" is the best stuff to use for glue. they dont sell it to the public anymore so you will need to find a cabinet shop and kiss up alittle and they might sell you some.only one problem with it though, you have to be fast,once you put it on the carpet and lay it down,your done. you only get one shot at it. once again great job

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (jtomlin)

    Did you cut the front part first with the two long pieces down each side? If so did you start at the front and cut in the middle of the carpet. I'm thinking if I do that there won't be enough carpet between the two long runners to put on the two rod lockers and storage bens because they wrap around and under the lids? I'm doing mine shortly. Thanks/Vernon

    Re: Opinions Wanted on Carpet Install. (jtomlin)

    Looks good, how did you get the aluminum cover off where the seats are mounted over the fuel tank to recarpet it? I have removed the screws from the top but can't get it to come off. Are there anchors at the bottom?
