Good job! The rebuild looks hella nice! TWO THUMBS UP! I'm about to take on recarpeting my boat...kinda intimidated.

Re: 1984 Chaparral 187 resto

carpet was the easy part. if at all possible, save the old carpet to use a templet for new. i made the mistake of cutting my deck carpet into a gazillion peices and had to install new carpet hard way. the verticle panels that run up under the top cap were the worst to make. kept cutting them backwards(laid new and old carpet face to face DOH!). use a good glue!

Did you fix the floor or just cover it up?

What a great looking boat. I'd sand that hatch down and throw some teak oil on there. Those captains chairs are a big improvement.

Re: 1984 Chaparral 187 resto

with the way the captains seats are mounted, there is no impact on the floor.

teak oil will be done tonight....

I think I would have a hard time selling that boat after all that work you just put into it. You know exactly what you got there. I think I would at least enjoy it for a season or two then unload it. Look great though, good job. Good luck.
