Wood look vinyl. Nice. Where'd ya find that?

Thanks, there are several places that sell it. Pontoonspecialist.com sells it along with the weathered grey teak. I got mine from bill on the Salem CL, I also got my other parts from him with the exception of the lil front livewells

Got the carpet and vinyl off today, I was a job for sure. I had to man handle the vinyl off.



Notice the lack of head room





All off, now I just have to sand it down

wow! awesome job ryan!

What the?? Yours came off a thousand times cleaner than mine! Lucky bast&$d you

For sure. Mine took the top layer of Ply off with most of it.

Haha, ya almost no residue un the carpet but the vinyl is another story. Any tips for removing it? I planned on renting a drum sander and going to town!

If it's soft and not too uneven you might think about leaving it.

I did exactly that and it did help some, although not totally effective. Get coarse paper and plan on plugging some up with the glue.

Got my parts I ordered in, only to open the box and find out he sent the wrong console [:x] ... I called him and he proceeded to tell me it was my fault! Long story short, I have to pay to freight it back to him and he's going to send me the right one....I will never do buisness with bill in Salem again!

Damn! I thought he was a heads up dude.

Ya I did to, I've used him before with good luck! But god forbid he screws up, he starts crawfishing and pointing fingers instead of taking care of his mistake

Dropped the boat off today at a local guys house, he's gonna put a mirror shine on my tubes for me. I'm suppose to get it back on Sunday so I'll post pics then. On another note, my console will be here tomorrow so hopefully I can get some quotes on building the fiberglass raised helm stand and galley them mold it all together.

Here's a couple progress pics of the polishing. Keep in mind that he still has another stage after this, but I'm super happy already!!!
