Thanks! I was thinking about putting it in the oven long enough to soften it. And then put it between two boards and clamp it down. Hopefully it will stay straight when it cools. Here are my parts.
Yeah, heat might just do the trick.

Transom trim/tilt switch in place.
That's a nice setup on the trim/tilt switch. Beats walking back and forth.

That black looks awesome but would fry us here in Texas. Maybe you are going to add a bimini!

Great looking boat.

Nope, no Bimini . The carpet is actually a Bit lighter than it appears in the pics. Most of my fishing is in the spring with still cool temps but i do quite a bit of summer fishing as well. Built my last boat the same without any heat issues but I’m in Wisconsin not Texas. Thanks.

5 minutes at 350 degrees did the trick. It is now flat again. I'm going to try to clean it up and restore the original color.
