Re: Help with info to redue boat

Why rhino lining? Are you going to haul firewood and building supplies in the boat

Need to keep the cost down...... consider regular paint on the deck with a non slip additive mixed in........ you should to do the entire deck for under $25 with that type of top coat.

Seats ...... well seating .......... comfort cost money...... how comfortable do you want to be ?

You appear to be doing an interior make-over. Does the boat need anything else?

There are other alternatives suitable if you do not like carpet like durabek or other epoxy floors. I would suggest on an older boat sealing any resin cracks with polyester resin and using carpet. this would cost under $100 and carpet will hide any floor flaws. A wire brush attached to a grinder makes easy work of removing old carpet glue. Check the internet, Many styles of boat seats can be had reasionably cheep.

Im going to have the transom redone too. I was thinking of one lounge seat on left and 2 swivel seats on driver side. Paint is a good idea with a few mats, i luv it..

At 27 yrs, when you redo the transom I bet you find rot down near the bottom.
