From what I have read, battery powered multi tool is the best way27'Amberjack - has anyone had success replacing the carpet in the cabin? Thinking of attempting it, didn't know if anyone had any advice to share. Thanks in advance.
I will never remove or take on the remodel of an express cruiser again (unless its a smoking good deal). My wife and I will enjoy our hard work, but someday I would love to buy a dialed in luxury cruiser that was turn-key no rehab needed.money well spent
Wow. You have cameras . That’s awesomeI paid someone to remove it from my 310. I was billed for 5 Hr's labor. I checked in on the cussing a few times via my remote camera and based on the expletives, it was money well spent.
I did my floor on my 330EC a few years ago. The old carpet was not terrible to get out, but it did leave quite a bit of the adhesive behind. (Nothing a orbital sander can’t handle quickly).
if replacing with carpet it would not have been a big job.
I used a glue down teak pattern vinyl planks. The floor under the carpet had some irregularities that either needed sanded down or filled with marine filler. (It was not a finished gel coated floor.) Additionally the floor hatches are cut sloppy to accommodate carpet; these needed rebuilt. I did it over the winter. Took a “bit” of time to complete. Completely worth it though.
I did both. I built a new hatch out of 3/4” and 1/2” ply laminated (glued) together as my supports where low to accommodate carpet on the underside. I then placed the new hatch in the location and framed it with 1 1/4” x 1/4” poplar strips. I used paint sticks to shim them around the hatch and filled the gap with fast set epoxy. It worked perfectly. If doing again I’d reduce the shim width to a 1/16” or 3/32”. The paint stick width (1/8”) on all sides is a big bigger than needed. (I didn’t use a trim ring, my floor is flush across the hatch and the planks all match).
(there are some pictures of the project in the 330EC/340AJ and thread in March/April timeframe of 2019.)
