[QUOTE="thill, post: 455442, member: 4972"] Got a little bit done over the last few days. I discovered the probable reason they just covered the livewell. The 1-1/2" drain hose was badly damaged, so I imagine that every time they used the livewell, the boat filled up with water. Found a leftover piece and replaced it. Problem solved. Then I soaked the new front deck in wood preserver, and got it screwed and glued down. We have had a lot of rain this past week, but one afternoon, there was a break in the rain, so I decided to pull the cover off the boat and get some more carpet installed. Got the front deck laid, glued and trimmed, and I'm happy with how it turned out: [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180722_204201.jpg"]98583._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20180722_204432.jpg"]98584._xfImport[/ATTACH] In the pic, the hatches look darker because they were wet from a passing shower. But I may also need to flip them around, so the "grain" of the carpet is the same. Funny, how it doesn't look so different in person. I decided to purchase a factory-made hatch cover for the livewell. Found a 9"x24" on Amazon for $34. You can see the cutout area through the carpet, bottom center. Can't even make a decent one that cheaply. It should be delivered by Friday, and then the front deck area will be 100%. Now I need to start working on the side panels. So far, so good... -TH [/QUOTE]
