[QUOTE="atuck593, post: 187574, member: 4904"] Thanks guys for the feedback and support. Ultra- congrats on your Starcraft purchase. I can't wait to see what your plans are on your build. mcdonl- I know what you mean about not being sure if you have everything. I have been slowly purchasing items for the build all winter like seats and pedestals and such. I hope that way once I get started I will have everything that I need for that particular step of my build. I have bought Gluvit for the seams and rivets ( I have read that steelflex can be a pain to work with ) as there was a small amount of water in the back of the boat the two times I took it out. Maybe 2 cups after a few hours out. It's not bad but if I have a floor in it I want to seal that up. I plan to carpet everything but I have priced a few places and it looks like for a 6 ft wide by 20 ft long piece of marine carpet I will be paying way close to $150. Could I just use outdoor carpet? Whats the difference between? They are both water and mold resistant but the outdoor is a lot cheaper. Any thoughts? Any places that have awesome prices on this item? I drew up a picture of what I would like to do and what colors I would like to use below. If anyone has any advise or suggestions from experience please let me know don't hesistate share. I am new at this and would like to get it as close to right the first time through. Mistakes can become expensive with boats as I have been pricing the items. [/QUOTE]
