[QUOTE="thill, post: 382186, member: 4972"] Yes, good therapy indeed! I think the 20' is going to do it, but I'm not 100% sure because the carpet inside the hatches is fine, so no need to replace. I think I still have about a 6x6 piece left on the roll at this point. I'll tally it up once it's done. Having done this before, I was careful to layout all the pieces carefully, starting with the largest pieces, and then using the leftovers for progressively smaller sections. I'm happy to say that I have had very little waste this time around. =D> We got "off duty" this afternoon, and I got in another 90 mins of work on the boat. I had some good progress today! I was able to: 1. Install the final major piece of carpet. (behind the console) 2. Install the stereo speakers and fish the wires to them 3. Re-install the console 4. Re-connect the steering (nice and smooth!) 5. Replace the tachometer with a new Teleflex unit 6. Wire up the new stereo 7. Install the front pedestal seat base 8. Mount a foot controlled trolling motor in the bow of the boat Then I noticed it was 9:53, so I turned the stereo off and called it a night. to get it together enough for a test run tomorrow. -TH [/QUOTE]
