    Carpet padding

    I see some of the new bass boats have padding under the carpet to help with Cushing.. I'm going to replace the carpet in my tracker this winter and was wondering what kind of padding i could use under the carpet. Anyone have any experience or ideas?

    Pro-Tec padding glued to the boat using Birdsong Adhesive. Then used BassCat carpet with normal carpet glue on top of the pad. 3M contact cement for the lids.

    Recarpeted my 96 Ranger 487VS with padded front deck. Used Pro-Tech 3/8” virgin…I can stand all day on front end now. Rich at Boatworxva got me the carpet, padding, and birdsong adhesive (in quarts-Huge Win). This was my first time and Rich gave me his cell. He gave me several tremendous tips that saved me a lot of headache, especially when it came to installing the padding and cutting it at an angle. My boat looks amazing for a 30 year old boat!
