I have a bass boat that I replaced the casting deck. I used exterior plywood and fiberglassed both sides before attaching it to exsiting fiberglass on boat. My question is this. Can I attach carpet onto the plywood or do I need to apply a layer or two of gelcoat to the plywood? I would like a smooth transition as possible where the new deck meets exsiting sides of fiberglass.

Re: Covering deck

No .. you dont need to ( nor really want to ) gelcoat the fiberglass before the carpet goes down. Go right over the glassed ply.
