    Are you going to carpet the floor and deck or coat it with a bed liner like Hercules?

    Going to carpet it and try to take it back as close to original as I can.

    Here is a pic of the way it looked from the factory. I'm hoping to get real close to this look only I have a different color scheme and the seating will be slightly different with just 1 seat in the back but capable of putting 2 seats. It's nice to have that extra seat....You just never know when Slab might show up and want to hitch a free ride

    It's got a heckuva livewell in the back of the boat!! I was told it has a 40 gallon capacity, but I don't think it is quite that large.

    Put the finishing touches on the floor in the rear of the boat yesterday. I had to add some foam under the floor to make sure that it would sturdy enough to walk on without trying to sag. Then I replaced the 4 aerators and put in an automatic bilge pump.
    Today we started on the front. I have been expecting the worst and hoping for the best......Good thing I was expecting the worst!! The boat had electric boat anchor mounted on the front and back with 3/16" bolts, double nutted and rusted. I had room to work in the back but the front was next to impossible to get to the mounting hardware....Unless you have the right tools!!!!

    All of the carpet in the boat is rotten but the glue the factory used still works REAL GOOD!! Even the bottom of the boat under the front deck was carpeted. I got the floor and all the carpet up today and tomorrow I'll be running some wires for my trolling motor and building a battery box under the front floor for the TM batteries. Hopefully I can get the front carpeted tomorrow before I start putting the front back together. Only been working on it for 1 week in the afternoons, but we are making progress. Hoping to have it completely carpeted and the inside put back together by the end of next week.

    Between work and the rain, the front deck is almost finished. The only thing left is the front instrument panel. Going to take a couple of days break from it and start on the rear portion of the boat Monday.
