[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 456894, member: 22613"] Wish I would've seen this earlier, I brought an 84 Tournament V17 home two weeks ago with a 60hp Merc. I really like that vinyl. Unfortunately the previous owner had already started rebuilding mine with tan carpet and included all the materials to finish it, so I opted to use it rather than rip it out and purchase new materials. I have a question about the rod locker lid. Did you use the old one as a pattern, or did you just measure and cut a straight piece of plywood? I can't tell for sure but I think the side of the boat is curved a little, not sure if the lid needs to be as well. I don't have the old one to trace the pattern. Additionally, are you going to reuse the old drop in hatch compartments in the rear deck? Mine are badly faded and brittle. Can't just make a plywood lid as there is no lip to support it, and the compartment is not lined. [/QUOTE]
