[QUOTE="Waterwings, post: 64782, member: 123"] Nice work on the supports, decking, and tote install ! 8) I believe most people have left about 1/4" to allow for the carpet, but may vary due to the type/thickness of carpet used. My rig came with metal flooring and the one fwd [metal] hatch and the rear access hatch I have did not have room enough to fold any under or between the hatch lid and the surrounding frame, so I just glued it all down then cut the openings with a sharp razor knife. The lid of the 5' storage box on the port side was the only place I had room to roll the carpet under. I (and others) have used the Henry 663 outdoor glue from Lowe's. I've had no problems with carpet lifting/seperating from the floor or hatches. [url]https://www.tinboats.net/forum/images/thumbnails.php?album=113[/url] [/QUOTE]
