Cutting out the carpet for my tin boat & making sure it fits

[Bassnut]

Well after riding my mountain bike around town this weekend I decided to cut out the carpet for the boat, the carpet is not glued down yet; I will start that next weekend that’s if I don’t have to do any overtime.

looks GOOD!

Nice job dude!Your putting that carpet over bare aluminum or wood??

I heard that if you have a wood floor,you should coat it with fiberglass resin and put the carpet on the still wet resin....then,it'll never come off and the wood will never rot!

I'm gonna have to change the carpet on my 17' Lowe bass boat too,,,It'll be in a few months from now though....lol....Then my 13' whaler will be in full shift....haha!

Home Depot indoor/outdoor carpet. I have that on my deck outside and it has held up real good.
