I think it's done, I am hoping to put it in the lake near my house this evening.
But I was wondering if anyone else is going to be testing their boat tonight or tomorrow somewhere nearby I would be willing to meet.

Need to get the War dept to help clean up the garage now. I got that from someone else's post.
The color scheme looks great.  115 hp?  The SST 19's rev out well with a good hole shot.

Gregg, I had good luck with indoor/outdoor carpet tape last year. And I will say it was a pain pulling up the carpet last fall.

The tape actually holds going up the sides also. What i did with the tape is I outlined all of the edges of the main floor. put an X across the floor from one corner to the other. then i ran a strip down the middle of the of the gunnel under the gunnel side storage. Then I took a heavy roller and rolled it down each piece of tape after the carpet was laid down. It took quite a bit of effort to pull it up. I will be putting down that tape again this week, I will post some pictures before I lay down the carpet.

That tape sounds interesting though. Probably a lot easier (and less smelly) then the glue.
