[QUOTE="jdsgrog, post: 199393, member: 4307"] For me, I just carpeted after I riveted the floor. But if you want to attach the carpet before you install the floor, you can use stainless steel as gillhunter says, or you can drill through the carpet and through the frames and use rivets. Just be sure to get the right size rivets. You need to compensate for the carpet. For the motor, I'm pretty sure it's a Johnson based on the design on the front of the cover and the way the shaft and lower unit looks. My guess is '59-mid 60's vintage. What confuses me a little is the fuel hose fitting. It doesn't look like an omc fitting. It looks thicker and only single "prong". Someone may have switched it out. To care for the motor, you may want to go to another forum, www.iboats.com. I learned how to take care of my motor from there. Also the Johnson guys there may know what motor you have. [/QUOTE]
