I layed many a foot of carpet back in the day... give yourself about 5 inches extra each direction.. then strech it in all 4 directions useing kicker ( you can rent these)and then cut it to fit after you tack it down to the tack board along the walls and entry way... then you tuck the edge under the molding of walls with a flat edge....better to have scraps left over then to be short in any one direction.
I think he is talking about cutting out carpet to glue down in his boat.......do you have to strech that too?
bbbaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahah... duh!:crazy:.. didn't even think that...LOL... no outdoor carpet is a bit differnt... on that I would glue down and tack about 3 inches under the boards for a clean look... I am sure others will jump in here that have done thier own carpet on boats.
I can draw you some stick people best i can do. PFftttttt:crazy:
Get a hold of WB, Hes an artist you know. He mainly draws Flies.
BaaahahahahahahahaRoflRoflRoflRoflRofl
If i every redu mine i want some of that stuff they are putting in the trackers at the bps . It is not carpet . Looks like you could just blow it in . Kinda like a sprayed in bed liner for your truck . I'm just sayin'
X2 that's what I wished I would of done this time... RinolinerQuote:

On the ranger lids--they put carpet on an outside list then laminated that piece over an inner lid--so you stuff the carpet in the gap between the two--it has taken about a month to get all the old carpet out of the gap on all 7 lids:deadhorsebangheadQuote:

Very nice. I wouldn't mind it--in a metal boat--just doesn't seem right in glass--but I'm not the brightest in the bunch either.Quote:

It's been aloooooooong time since I recarpeted a bass boat I once had but I still cut extra and when gluing started from the center and worked towards the edges. Anywhere I couldnt tuck the carpet I ran a blade in the cracks along the edges to get a good close fit. Mine came out alright and I wouldnt be scared to do another one. Good luck putting your new carpet down.

354. I'm starting to type like DD. I'll get some pics as soon as I get it back. Got a friend checking the hull to see if there is any waterlogging. Don't think there is, but he will know for sure.Quote:

I've used a calculator and viso til im blind. I'll be buying more carpet i bet:(Quote:
