[QUOTE="baseball_guy_99, post: 224171, member: 3565"] So after working on the motor and getting it running and pumping water, I moved on to the interior of the boat. I started off on the back deck replacing the carpet. I'll tell you 22 year old marine carpeting is nasty!! I got all the old carpeting ripped off and got the deck scraped and cleaned off. Applied the new carpeting using 3m high strength spray adhesive. I'm still working on re-carpeting the back hatch...it's being a pain in the butt. I also found out that I like using rivets more than screws now. Just drill the hold and squeeze the handle a few times! I got all the carpeting to do this job for $15!! I work at Lowe's and they tore down a few old displays that had this carpeting on them. They were going to throw it away so I asked my store manager how much he wanted for the pieces. It was 2-6'x8' pieces. He said $1 a piece! Then we had a guy return a remnant piece. 4'x12'. It sat on the shelf for approximately 2 weeks and nobody bought it. So they marked it down 1/2 price and I picked it up for $12. [/QUOTE]
