Hello all! I am new to the boating world. I recently purchased a 1971 starcraft 16' boat with a 35 horse johnson seahorse and trailer. Now I want to start of by saying I am a complete novice in all aspects of the word. I have always been an avid fan of fishing and being on the water and have always dreamed of having a boat to get out on the water fishing. (renting boats was getting old). I have read many discussions on this forum of the pros and cons to boat ownership and I am seeking the advise from all of you experienced boaters/owners. Long story short is I would like to replace the floor and carpeting in my boat as wells as update the console etc. I have a few soft spots on the floor and I have read don't risk it. My questions would be one, is it doable for someone who is very new to this, and two should I risk doing it myself or try to shell out the money to have it professionally done. Any thoughts??
