Project: Replace floor due to rotten wood and water logged foam.
My wife really likes the boat, so that is why I am fixing it. We intend to keep the boat for quite awhile since this is our first boat.
I purchased this boat earlier this spring with knowing the floor needed to be replaced. I have already repaired the lower unit and put new bellows on the back. I have had the boat on the water multiple times, but I kept finding more and bigger soft spots as the past few months have gone by, so I decided with the high water and most of the rams are closed in my area I would start on the floor.
I've just begun the process of removing the carpet and started cutting away on the floor to remove the foam.
I'll probably have some questions as I continue, but for now I'm just working to get the floor out.
Opinion Question: I'll probably put carpet back in, but my wife and I are undecided on carpet color between (dark gray, light gray or red). We have red accent color throughout the boat (pin stripe on sides and seat cushions). Carpet color was a medium gray color.
