That makes sense. I especially like the idea of leaving the bottom open so the wood can dry out. I hadn’t thought about using stove bolts to protect the carpet either. Thanks for the tip!
Hi everyone,
New to the boating world and looking for some advice from people with more experience than me.
I recently picked up an older fiberglass bowrider, and while going through it before putting it in the water, I noticed some areas of the deck have a little more flex than I expected...
I’d probably go with the through bolts. It’s a little more work, but I’d feel better knowing they’re not going anywhere. Just seal the holes really well before putting the carpet on.
