[QUOTE="Ashtel, post: 293108, member: 10369"] Thanks Gators. The original plan was to just replace the carpet with Vinyl. That is still the plan but it has become a much bigger project now. Once we stripped the foam we ran into 7 pin holes that were visible that needed patching, after patching we water tested and also turned the lights off in the garage with a big spot light underneath the boat to check for more leaks; we found a couple more as well that have since been patched. After sanding for days we were ready for bed liner. Bed Liner has been applied to the bottom of the boat after I decided it didn't look right for the sides (this should provide some extra sealant as well). We started painting the interior last night - it is turning out great! I absolutely love the color (pictures attached). Next on the list is to rewire the boat after the second coat of paint. As to what the boat will be used for, I am an avid flat head catfisherman and sturgeon guy. Attached are a couple of pictures from last year on the river. This boat will be used mainly for the river and for BIG fish [-o< . [/QUOTE]
