[QUOTE="-CN-, post: 426258, member: 18939"] I carpeted the deck using Marine Carpeting from Menards (a regional Home-Improvement store like Home Depot) and an all-purpose exterior carpet adhesive. I stapled the back. [img]https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/clintonnaef/Mobile%20Uploads/20151029_191833_zpske2k0fks.jpg[/img] I also trimmed 1/4" off of each side of the pieces I cut out for that hatch doors and carpeted those too. I screwed the deck down onto the boat using 1-1/2" stainless screws that I pre-drilled into the aluminum. The screw heads completely disappeared into the carpet. I attached the hatches with stainless steel hinges (yes, I added handles later).

This carpeting was cheap (around 50 cents a square foot on sale) and at the time of this posting, went through two long seasons of fishing, parked outside, and still looks new. [/QUOTE]
