[QUOTE="WhopperPlopper, post: 472482, member: 25503"] Did some more grinding with the wire wheel to get more old glue off. Was happy to see the bottom Floor and sides were all one piece.. I like that rather than doing each panel Separate and worry about a seam not lining up. A lot of my amazon order came in but some of the things I need sooner keep getting delayed. I also opened my carpet i Ordered from bestboatseats.com/pontoonstuff and the color of the carpet was spot on and the rubber backing was significantly better quality than the indoor/outdoor runner backed carpet I’ve used from menards..but I simulated wrapping a hatch or corner/bend and the carpet separates a lot and can see the backing through the carpet.. I’ve emailed the company to see what I can do before attempting to return and try the 20 oz carpet if that makes a difference.. The indoor/outdoor carpet never did this.. so we will see Drilled out the rivets on the front deck and that foam looks pretty up top but soaked about halfway down and caused it to expand and bowed up the floor... will chip away at this and the rear deck and replace with pink insulation foam wrapped in 2-3 mil plastic sheathing... any other suggestions?
