[QUOTE="Xxstang90, post: 450904, member: 23389"] Ok took about 200 rivets to staple down the top plate. That is just hours of drilling and not fun. After that used a wire wheel to scuff up all the surface. Then used asetone to clean it nice. Removed the hatch lids and started carpet. Used henry 636 which was difficult to find for some reason. Wanted 236 but you can't find that anywhere including online. Used 16ounce bassboat carpet and wow that stuff is nice. Also make sure you get a rounded tool to etch your corners before cutting with a razor. Makes the job much easier. I'll try to post a YouTube link to show you the tool and method I used. Carpet to this point took about 4 hours, gotta go slow and do every cut 100% or you'll pay for it. Bought 20 feet and unfortunately didn't have enough to finish to floor, so 25 feet would of been enough for this boat so I have to order a little more. [/QUOTE]
