[QUOTE="thill, post: 378785, member: 4972"] Due to three snow storms in a row, and lots of rain since then, progress on the Tracker had ceased. But today, we had a one-day break between rain storms, so when I got home this afternoon, I went out and pulled the cover off the boat. Everything looked clean and dry, despite the patched-up cover. I decided that I was going to carpet the new plywood, since it was warm and dry enough for carpet glue to work properly. Cut out the carpet and got it laid in place on the front deck. Pulled back one side, got it stuck, then did the other side and smoothed it out. Then I did the main floor the same way. Nice!!! After that, I spend a couple of hours, scraping glue, drilling and replacing old rivets, and installing a stereo to the console before it got put back down. Then, I set the console back in place, and fixed a couple of bad connections in the wiring. That piddly stuff took time, but it has to be done. The next thing I knew, the sun was down, and it was time to wrap up. Today, I spent about 4 hours on the boat, more than I meant to, but I enjoyed listening to the radio and relaxing while I worked. Because the sun went down, I only have a picture of the front deck carpet: [ATTACH type="full" alt="150312_059.jpg"]72510._xfImport[/ATTACH] Hopefully, the rain won't last too long, and I can get back out there soon. -TH [/QUOTE]
