Too bad we are so far apart, we would be having a serious conversation about your boat! :beer:

Yes, that is a small hole up front. Boat and trailer are both titled. Not concerned with an outboard as this would be a electric lake only rig.

Hey guys, looking at this boat pictured below. Wondering your opinions on the asking price of $1600. That price includes a 2000ish trailer and a 1978 Terry boat. The boat is bare bones, no lights, battery, electronics, etc. It's the bare boat. Thanks in advance!

Well, I was able to carpet this weekend. I bought 20' thinking that would cover everything..I came up 2' short :evil: At least I was able to cover all of the hatch lids so I don't have to worry about color match on those. There are two side compartments left to do. I emailed the supplier to see...

It's been quite awhile since I've updated. I'm slowly gaining ground and can see the light at the end of the tunnel :D These pics are in reverse order, but you get the idea :mrgreen:

I most certainly could modify the lip, but man, I really don't want to do that if I don't have to! After (over) thinking about this :roll: I'm just going to remove the lid from the hinge, carpet the lid and re rivet thru the carpet...I had a Sea Ark once and they used pan head screws to...

Appreciate the feedback DPI, the problem is that the hinge is riveted from the back side and the water channel lip prohibits you from securing the lid from the inside. This pic is taken a little above eye level of the rivets, if it were taken at eye level you would not see the rivets.

Yes sir, I can do that. I was just not wanting the hardware (rivets) to be exposed. I'll have to take a quick measurement on the depth for ya.

Johnny, I can't keep up with your edit's dude! :lol: Your idea was the only thing I could think of myself to eliminate having exposed rivets on the top side of the lid. Although I'm not real excited about having to modify these $100 hatches! #-o I'm still up in the air on what I'm going to do?

They are designed to allow carpet to fit the lid and the frame both.

I meant to show the deck configuration in my OP... I've made it so that the lips of the hatches will be flush with the deck... Wanting to carpet the deck and hatch frames at the same time as to not have the frames visible like this...

Hey all, Has anyone come up with a solution for carpeting the hatches fabricated by R&R Design? I ordered these through Cabelas and didn't realize the hinge side on the lid does not have a flange, the hinge is riveted from the top side of the lid.. My original plan was to remove the lid from...

Wow, thank you for the kind words 8)

Well, what do you know...we had some crazy warm temps the last few days which allowed me to get a little work done 8) Deck floor...14g aluminum re-purposed from an old shower stall that was in the basement of the house I currently live in. I've held on to this aluminum for over twenty years :D
