Its the anti fatigue mats from pepboys. Sears and some other autoparts stores carry it as well. It comes in a 4'x8' roll and is 1/4" thick. I put it down with contact cement.

Not done yet but getting closer.

Finally got the bottom and sides painted this weekend.

I picked up an '87 model Aluma-weld Mod-v bass boat a few months ago. It came with a 40hp Johnson, a small fish finder and a trolling motor. The carpet was shot, the tilt/trim was shot and the boat had just been painted. The recent paint job made me a little cautious about it having some...

Thanks! I'm not sure what aqua carpet is, but the floor covering is called Hydro Turf. You can get it from Hydro Turf....they are in CA.

I'm in rock hill sc.

I had my carbs rebuilt last week. They were ready Saturday morning and after I put them on, I took the boat out for a joy ride. With early goose season less than a week away, I had to get busy building my blind. I had a general idea of how I wanted it to work but really built it as I went...

I would recommend putting foam between the ribs with anything less that .125. I think the .080 would be fine at first but over time, it would start to sag between the ribs. Also....the space between my ribs was 12".

Thanks for all of the comments about the Rude.... The paint color is Ford Dark Metallic Blue from a rattle can. It looked alittle weird at first, but once I got the decals on, it actually looked pretty good.

The .040 is pretty flimsy by itself but once the foam was between the ribs, it becomes very solid. I was actually surprised how solid it was once it was all riveted down. I went with .040 for a couple of reasons. First, it was free...my family is in the construction business and do alot of...

Next was onto the electrical..... I bought new gauges, faria euro gauges (rpm, tilt/trim, volt). All new switches and instead of fuses, I put in breakers. From the console I can control the nav lights, aerator, head light (for putting out decoys at 3AM). the gauge lights and check the...

One of my hardest decisions was floor covering. I tossed ideas around in my head for weeks but finally broke down and purchased some dark grey, cut diamond hydro turf. For anyone that's unfamiliar with it...its defiantly worth looking up. I ordered 5 sheets and picked up some contact cement...

Next was to figure out the seating arrangement. The driver and passenger seats would go back in their original locations. The front and rear seats were sitting on top of live wells, which are no longer in the boat. I added two seat receivers to the rear "pods" and one in the middle of the...

I knew I wanted the batteries in the front, so I needed to add onto the front deck. I built it from .080 aluminum supported by 1"x1"x.125 angle. The holes in the front are for 6x9's Battery support and deck frame I ordered two hatches from cabelas. This would give me a great deal of storage...

Over the next few weeks, I added foam and sheet metal to the interior of the boat. The metal is .040 sheet aluminum which is pop riveted down. The metal is .040 sheet aluminum which is pop riveted down. I put the original "pods" back in the boat but removed the carpet. All new wiring...
