Hello, just getting started here like many others have. I just picked up a 80's Blue Fin 16 footer because I am glutton for punishment. I have never messed with boats before but I figured my kids are young and they will enjoy it. It is a project to say the least. I need to completely replace the deck, seats, and all of the trim. Who knows what else I will need to do. I have been reading many post on redoing to decking on these types of boats, pretty neat stuff. I am handy and have restored quite a few odd projects so I hope this one isn?t too bad. I see lots of advice on carpet vs. vinyl flooring. Is carpeting just something I should avoid? I want something my kids will be comfortable on so that why I am inquiring. Any tips on replacing the deck? I see that glassing the deck is the way to go, I just hope I understand how to do it. I am leaving to back to Iraq this fall so the goal is to get this old girl back in the water before I leave. It will be a challenge but I am looking forward to it. Thanks for any advice and help!
