Here's one of our 38. Come on Summer:sifone:
here is my 2000 280, funny story, if you notice he terrible condition of my driveway, I had 7K set aside to replace it and the boat motor blew 2 seasons ago, guess what? the driveway never got replaced. my wife reminds me of tat at least once a month
502, I replaced the carpeted sides and installed aluminum diamond plate, turned aout awesome
it's been raining all day, bored.

How hard was it to remove the carpet
thanks, taking the carpet out was the worst part, the side with the trim pump was easier because of the oil spots, the other side was a *****, came up in 1/2" sections. you could probably go over the carpet and it would not make a difference, I glued and screwed it down in the corners. I had a metal shop put a 90 at the edge so there is not sharp edge. I bought the diamond plate online I think it was 1/8"
other side
Not Right
Very clean look I like it. Looks like another off season project on my list.
I wonder if theres a mild solvent you could spray on the carpet that would soften the glue? I've been looking at doing this the last couple years.
Agreed! I bought some vinyl 2 years ago along with some purple battery trays and every time I think about doing it I see this two day project of carpet removal. I just hate carpet in the engine compartment. It does nothing but hold moister.
I would try and soak it with something, the more I think about it I think I remember that it was almost like they layed the carpet in wet resin, it was a major pain.
unfortunately the polished look didnt last long probably due to the salt air, still look 100% better than carpet but just dull aluminum now.
