Hey guys I'm getting ready to do some carpet work on my 278 and wanted to see if someone had some input. I've been thinking about which weight on the carpet. 16 oz or 20 oz???? The carpet in the boat isn't really that thick and the lids are all pretty dang tight as it is. I know you can use a set of clippers to thin out the thicker carpet but wanted to see what you guys had used on your similiar boats and how bad the lids were to get open after you did it.

Oh and what is a good name brand contact cement for the lids?
