I live in the Tarpon Springs Fl area and found the perfect boat to mod for lake and flats fishing in my area (if anyone on the forum lives near by give me a shout).
I am modifying an old 16 ft extra wide flat bottom Monarch with side console. I plan on doing most wood work with Marine plywood and ready to purchase and install carpet. A few questions for the experts
1. do stores such as Lowes and HD carry marine grade carpet suiable for these mods or should I shop elsware and would love suggestions for price, best type, etc.
2. is there a specific glue needed for marine applications?
3. any suggestions on how to attach carpeted flooring or panels without using external screws and washers? If you do use screws and washers outside of being SS any suggestions/descriptions?
Thanks I am hooked on this stuff already!
Will start to post pics for all to view.
