95' ProCraft V-150B Restore

[catfishkid]

Hey all, just wanted to share the progress of a restore that i am doing on my boat. The old carpet was falling apart and the labels where in bad shape, along with some cloudiness and trailer rust. Any suggestions are welcome, enjoy! (Edit: Pictures Fixed)

Starting to rip the old Carpet out:


Note on how the Factory Lid Corners was done:


Ready to start laying the new Carpet (used the tape to note where screw holes were at):



The new carpet is in, but i haven't got to take the pictures of it yet. I will get them and upload them soon! Still have a lot of work to do on the gel-coat and the trailer.

Finally got the cover off the boat and onto the lake this past weekend. Got some pictures of the carpet job being completed. Enjoy, i know i am!









I have started the process of sanding some airbrushing that we had on the outside of the topcap, had our names on it, that had got to looking really bad off and bringing the shine back to boat. Still have work to do on the boat below the rub rail and i want to have the trailer sandblasted and re-painted or coated with line-x.



She still floats good!

This is a spot i am having problems with.



to the left i have done some sanding on it, but to the right it keeps flaking up. It does not feel rough under it, and i don't feel any flake. Why is it doing this and how can i stop it? This is the only place on the boat that i have ran into this.

looks like someone may have sparayed a clear coat over the gel to me.
