[QUOTE="Still Afloat, post: 497855, member: 32426"] I’m inspired by your refurb. Nice work, particularly on the console. I have a 1997 Crestliner 1750 Tournament Pro which is similar as far as the construction techniques. The boat is due for some freshening up but it‘s in better shape than yours was before you reworked it. The carpet is shot, it needs fresh paint, the wiring is functional but a real birds nest and too many people with power tools have touched this boat. However, it’s still completely useable and I have another boat build in the works so this is a longer term project in the “thinking about it” stage. I’m interested in your decision to stick with carpet over vinyl or EVA. The deck lids were designed to be carpet wrapped so that may have influenced your decision. Did you feel it was just too much work to take a different route? Vinyl, EVA and perhaps even redecking with aluminum for durability and easy cleanup are options that I want to explore. I know I will regret carpet the first time that’s covered with fish slime, dog hair or a can of porter or stout beer gets spilled on it. [/QUOTE]
