    1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet Ski locker cover, improper material and the condition is trashed: Is that just kitchen counter top? It is certainly de-laminating plywood, since it was not protected at all. Some stainless steel screws holding it in place, some not so much...

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet Here are some finished looks. After I was done I remembered people talking about glassing in plywood circles over the foam fill holes. I completely forgot about that until now, what is the best advice? Should I hole-cut out the spot I just filled...

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet I have never in my life worked with fiberglass before today, but iBoats gave me the info and confidence to do it. I am not certain of what the best approach would be for my repair, so I went with a generic solution. I chose 'Bondo' brand polyester...

    1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet At this point I had gel coat and glass fibers everywhere, and I wish I would have sprung for that tyvek suit that some have talked about. ITCHY!!! So I ran the shopvac for about an hour to clean the entire boat, bow to stern, because everything I...

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet Here is the port side floor grinding results. Port side rear foot-well. Again not getting too close to the seams, to preserve their integrity. Foot path up the middle Co-captain foot-well Bow foot-well. This area was very exposed, with...

    1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet Let the real mess begin... I removed the seats and all the bow cushions to get them all out of the way, making it much easier to move around. I'm going to re-attach the cockpit seats in a different way (lower, removing the modified storage boxes...

    1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet Back to the deck inspection, one of the elements of the plan is to strip it down to a smooth surface in order to re-seal it and then install the carpet. Having said that, I have read enough warnings on iBoats to insist that I check for rot. I...

    1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet Here is where the project takes a creative turn, and I'd welcome any experienced input on my decision, because it is reversible. Previous owners had expanded the storage in this 18.5 foot bowrider by raising the fold-down bench seats with a box...

    1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet Here is the pattern of the deck carpet, laid out on the garage floor. It measures just over 6' wide and 10' in length, so I'm looking for marine carpet to purchase. I've been to Home Depot and Lowes, and they have materials, but special order and it...

    1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet

    Re: 1991 Bayliner Capri - floors and carpet First step is to remove the carpet, and that took all of about an hour. Since the side walls are in fine shape, the deck surface is all I am really concerned about. I had a natural hand-hold with the holes that are in it, and the spray adhesive that...
