CV16SS Winter Project
« on: October 29, 2012, 10:00:37 PM »
Well it's begun... I've had a list of things I have wanted to do to this boat since I got it 6 years ago! This past weekend I knocked a few of those off.

-New carpet. Found this stuff at Home Depot and I personally think it matches better than the old stuff.
-New Stereo and Speakers (which came out of a demo derby car!!)
-Epoxied in depth Finder Transducer

-I also pulled the motor. Figured since it's out, i'll replace the trim hoses and a few leaky gaskets on the motor.

-Next will be the hull which has many nicks and could use the old 3000 grit wet sand.
-Clean up the aluminum trim

Floor and Transom looked great after removing the carpet and engine.

Oh yea, stupid lag bolts sheared off for the front engine mount to the floor so I had to hack that block off and glass in a new one.

Looks great Jason, your "attention to detail" makes a big difference IMHO.

Looks good Jason. Was the old carpet glued down and did you glue down the new stuff?
I tried carpet tape on the V175 and am not happy with how loose it is. I may have to go with glue, at least in spots.

The old Carpet was glued in and came out pretty nicely. I had to smooth out a couple areas before gluing down the new stuff. I took the entire gallon to do the new carpet and seems to have held it down nicely. The glue I got came from Rockford Supply in Brooklyn Park. I think it was about $38. Stinky stuff!!

Outdrive needs to be gone through too now. Found some water in the oil so I'll have to give Jim's pal Dan a call!

Guess I'd better go back and get more, I only bought a quart to do mine!  (The carpet is just laying in there now, didn't want to make it permanent until I was happy with the seats.)  Outdoor carpet glue, put it on with a notched  trowel Jason?

"Outdoor carpet glue, put it on with a notched  trowel Jason?"

Thats what I did in the last few boats I put carpet in. Lay it all with glue smooth it out and then the next day come back and press it all down again as the glue really tacks up after a day.
I think this has become an addiction.

Exactly what I did.
 
I am sure you can use other glue then the stuff I used too. It was only sold in the gallon where I got it.

Got my carpet and glue at Menards last night. A gallon bucket was 13.00.

So you were able to get carpet long & wide enough to do it in one peice ?
Old carpet was seamed in front of seats .
Looks great Jason !

I dont remember what glue I used in the V163 but when I pulled the carpet out of the bildge area, it pulled out some glass too. That was why I stayed away from glue this last time. Maybe some is less sticky or doesnt get hard?
Just dont put down too much or use a trowel with too wide of notches or the stuff will come right through the carpet.

The glue I used was pretty thin. It is actually designed to be used in a sprayer so the the trowel didn't do much good in that respect anyway.

Gregg it was all one piece. Home Depot sells it in a 12' roll. I got a piece 12' by 10' which was perfect for doing the floor and front and back panels. My old carpet had a seam right across the middle of the boat.

Thanks for the glue tips guys, much appreciated.

I went into the store thinking I was going with the 12' wide single piece as well.  (The preferable way to do it IMO)  Once I got back in the carpet dept. I found they had 6'x8' pre-cut on sale for $18.86 each, and the "overly-frugal" Mark took over.  Two pieces, one split for the sides and one for the main floor, did the trick.  If you cut the edges carefully, they're (almost) hardly noticeable.

Wow way cheaper then the stuff I have and it is not superior quality as far as I am concerned, but the main reason I bought it online was to get the larger chunks and avoid any seems. Yes you can do it so its almost unnoticeable but I preferred not to deal with it. It was available in 6' and 8' widths and you ordered it lenghtwise by the foot. I paid close to 100.00 however.

I wouldn't say the stuff I got was cheap either. It was about $140 for the 10' x 12' piece. But, when trying to keep the boat as original looking as possible and with planning on keeping it for a lifetime, $140 all of a sudden didn't seen so expensive. I am very happy with how it turned out.
