Re: Paint VS Carpet for a new floor
The transom stringer job -- decided to get a new hull and that's this one with similar problems
As for pics, it seemed like no one asked for more so I assumed that the ones I posted were OK, also they illustrated everything that I was asking about it. and I haven't posted any more because I've had very little time to work on this since my mom has been in the hospital recently -- but they are coming when I make some progress.
I appreciate all the help that I can get and I glean what I can from everyone's opinions and formulate my own.
Yes, we are trying to do this as cheaply as possible and yes I understand that it's not easy and takes a lot of time.
However, I see it as an endeavor and something that me and my friend with whom I'm splitting the costs of everything, can really learn from and hopefully get something out of.
It has been a long trip for us with the whole boat thing since we started last summer, knowing NOTHING, and we have made tremendous strides.
And we have all of the carpet from the old hull which we spent a lot of money on -- it is marine carpet.
It seems like there's a certain stigma attached to being young -- but I see us as equally capable as anyone else who is jumping into a resto project.
It's an ambitious project, but I would contend that when we finish this project it will look and perform very well and last us through college.
