Location: Elgin, IL | I got started on the 96 Lund Pro V carpet replacement project, starting with the back deck, and livewell/battery compartment hatches. carpet came off pretty well, plywood needed some smoothing and patching and it's ready for new carpet.
One important tip here:
I see alot of boats with the carpet worn off right on the deck edge....due to wear and tear and the fact that the plywood creates a very square corner. So I decided to take my router with a round bit, and take the sharp edge off slightly....leaving me with a rounded corner that will allow me to glue the carpet better, and this will surely wear alot better over the years to come. ( A belt sander with medium grit paper will achieve the same look) I enclosed a picture.
Hope the tip helps some of you, thanks for yours, and good luck.
