[QUOTE="kalninm, post: 446844, member: 18635"] So this weekend I made some actual progress! First of all tried my hand at carpeting, while I wish I had a few more clamps it went pretty dang well! I got the center floor, both side panels, the front of the leg section by the seats and the base of the seat area set. The base seat area needs a lot of work this week but we got the major areas set and we'll do all the edges this week. Had to get creative in adding weight to the carpet while it set up too.I also finally came up with a new way to mount my pumps that'll work better than before, got them mounted and finished the plumbing to them!!! After that we were able to put the back deck back together, and rivet in the side panels in the middle of the boat. Then I decided to do a little work on the live well, as if cutting two additional 1" holes in it wasn't enough I then drilled out the rivets holing the divider in the livewell as in my opinion its too small a livewell for a divider and I could just see my fish getting injured on the sharp corners. I replaced those rivers I drilled out with large headed pop rivets and silicone. Also got all the lids carpeted and the handles put back in the hatch lids. Hopefully next weekend the back deck can get carpeted and we can start working on wiring and the front deck. [/QUOTE]
