I plan to change my cabin carpet this spring. My back hurts looking at he photos. This may not be the year (ouch). Putting all new cockpit carpet. Never had any so snaps had to be added.Ok I’m to the last of my winter projects, cabin updates. I’ve started with the floor by removing the old carpet. I expected this to be my hell project, it’s far from it. The old carpet came up fairly easy, the backing had failed completely. The new flooring is ready to be put in but I’m waiting on a new table saw. Photos to follow.
The stainless support brackets that run from transom to underside of swim platform--mine has three, which bent in a storm my first season and have weakened/worn through over time. As a complete noob at the time, either it didn't occur to me to file an insurance claim, or I feared that filing less than two months after purchase would earn me a higher premium or get me dropped entirely!T, thank you. What do you need for the swim platform
Yikes! 'Same thing happened to me, but we were on the trailer. My whole season lasted as long as backing into the lake to check for leaks, then pulling it right back out without even starting the engines, so no loss of carpet there. However, we used baking soda and vinegar with a couple of drops of Dawn soap in hot water for the stains down the walls from a leaky rub rail. Other options: https://www.tipsbulletin.com/how-to-get-mold-out-of-carpet/May have to do my carpet if it can't be cleaned and deodorized. King Neptune tried to claim my boat last week. Bellows failed at launch. Took on quite a bit bit of water before being righted. Filed a claim but waiting for results. Im told it may be totaled. Love this boat and not looking for another. Some say it should be repairable since the engines weren't under. I hope so.

Thanks for the tip Nater. My main worry is the wiring and engines. My mechanic is coming tmro to evaluate. Thumbs crossed.Yikes! 'Same thing happened to me, but we were on the trailer.

Welcome Peepers! You will be able to learn a lot in the club. I have made a lot of changes and improvements to SSP that, without the info and encouragement from members, I never would have attempted. Given time, go back thru son of the other entries over the past years. Surprise, surprise, surprise. Good boating!!!New to the site, we just bought a boat ... 88 Sundancer 300, this site helped me to determine what boat we wanted, so thank you ! Needs TLC, lucky for us it was a freshwater boat, now she'll be an ocean girl ! Mine and my hubby's family have been avid boaters for decades, but not in about 10 years, so we decided it's time again to have some boating fun.
Nice to meet you all and looking forward to learning tips and tricks for our boat !
