    Just jack it up and pull a new one in under it. Then give me the old one.Just An idea. Nobody said it was a good one.

    It's a pain. If u do decide to do it yourself start on the storage lids to see if u want to tackle the rest .

    Don't know your setup...but I have seen a lot of pics where folks used durabak instead of carpet, looks great.

    Last year I bought an older model Tracker targa V 18 with the intentions of making an all purpose boat for Lake Murray. The carpet was shot so I opted to replace the carpet with Vinyl. It was a time consuming job as I did it myself and having had colon cancer surgery in Feb it took a long time to finish it. What type of boat do you have. I did a lot of research and a couple words of advice. Do not use carpet from big box stores. Go with marine carpet with the right adhesive and take your time and make sure to order enough. Carpet is a lot easier to put in. The hardest part is getting the old glue off. Don

    You can do it! Don't get in a hurry and use the best materials you can get.

    Yes you can. Would be a great time with the ramps closed down. Getting the old glue up is the hardest job.
