Whew. Guys that install boat carpet for a living sure do earn their money. I got everything taken out of the boat today. Next I'm gonna strip the carpet, then repaint the gunwale, bow and stern. Then it's on to carpetting. I may have to hire an electrical engineer to hook all the gauges and switches back up. LOL

I'm thinking about extending the front deck back to the front of the console. Would be about 18" more deck. The only negative I can think of is that that will eliminate the little "cubby hole" where I can put my tackle bag.

Going back with a dark grey carpet. In full disclosure, the carpet under the front deck is NOT getting changed. Ain't no way I'll fit in that little hole....
