Yep! And with one of the two bilge side vents being open, well any water that runs in runs down the carpet.....It isn't even that comfy to lay against when doing rigging...haha.
 
That really came out awesome.
Must be the season for engine compartment stuff.
Right now I'm just taking a lunch break from being inside mine all morning, I really thought I was gonna get away with just a good cleaning and bleaching but now I find you and Ron going all extreme make over on the engine room stuff, ------- so I guess I'll go look for that old carpet cutter and start prepping for paint :shakehead:
 
Everything looks great. I have been wanting a polished cover lettered up similar to yours for a while. I wish we were closer Id get the works , a facelift on my graphics and lighting to. :thumb:
 
EZ,

Did you tint your Rustoleum with a little yellow to match the hull? I have two coats of Gloss White on mine and there is quite a difference between that and the color of my fiberglass. I'm thinking of doing a third coat and tinting it a bit.

Great question, I havn't painted yet but I'm thinking of only painting the floors in my compartment and was wondering how to deal with the white color mismatch, {and the black drip/splash graphics}

GF let us know what you decide to do regarding maybe mixing a little yellow with the white.
