Got the carpet laid rails up and seats built!!
It was definitely not fun.... Well being at the lake was good all the solo work not so much.Trying to get the carpet wrinkle free on my own was a super pain, but I finally got it. I did notice one little section with some defects but I think either the table or seat mount will hide it. The rails were kind of a nightmare for one person to do. I went through 5 drill bits and luckily my last one made it through the day. I hadn't even thought about drilling through the rub rails and the frame for each whole. I only had my ryobi rechargeable drill. Should have taken my electric high speed...
I went through 6 big scratcher pads on the rails. While they don't look perfect they will do for now. I will have to do some work on the sundeck it extended over the back of the old seats a little and since the new ones are taller I had to pop it off to line up all the seats against the rear rail. I will eventually recarpet and re-wood the sundeck anyhow.
Some where along the way my measurements were off... I have exactly an 18 inch gap at the long end of my rear group I think I may get another lounger and that way I will have a rear facing one.
The kiddies got me a top mount controller with tilt and trim switch built in.
It is really sweat, and the T/T wires were exactly the same color codes as the merc wires I tested it and works like a charm, as well as the Neutral safety switch. I ran out of time to do any actual wiring, so I did not mount any of the seats or the console just put them in their places.I forgot the new cover of all things!!
After putting the rails all back together I was only less than an inch from being exactly were the old ones were. The snaps didn't quite line up at the bow.
Oh well if it gets wet it is a boat right???

He also is sending side mount NAV lights. He said I could send the others back, or give them away. Does anyone need new LED NAV lights???
