Thank you. I had carpeted boats before but this is the first time I have had to disassemble one to carpet it. It was very educational. I am hoping it sets a little higher in the water after replacing the water logged foam. While I had it apart I installed a 2 bank Minn Kota battery charger and replaced one of the batteries. It was a one battery boat when I bought it 6 years ago. I use the trolling motor so much that I was nervous about being stranded and trying to rope start the 25 hp motor. I can't wait till my new seats show up to complete the job. I also ordered some led bulbs that are supposed to fit in the nav lights. This mornings outing is basically to look for brush piles in a protected cove I know of. I have two Lowrance HDS5's on the boat that while being out dated do show a pretty good picture of what is under the boat. If I catch fish today that will be a bonus. Thanks again for the compliment.
