Same as Ardy - finish all my chores - gradually getting through the darned list - then hook the boat up, tow 10 miles to the bay and go have some fun!!

In Melbourne there is no winterizing, and boating season runs pretty much September to April, but if you really wanted to brave the cold (nothing like the cold you get in North america) you could stretch this from August to May. :lol:

I store in an under ground non working lime stone mine. 60 acres under ground 56 degrees with 1500 other boats and campers and motor homes. No need to worry about freezing but I do winterize the engine for corrosion purposes. I pull in mid Oct. and right into storage. Save the projects for spring.

Let me know when you get that floor stripped and I'll send you some carpet samples and get you a good buy on snap-in carpeting :D

I'm interested to hear how this goes. On my Sea Ray 185 with glued in carpet, I was told it was unfinished under the carpet and would be a major undertaking to switch it to snap in.


I've seen some people just leave the old glue-in carpet and place snap-in over it(without the snaps). The carpet and backing is heavy enough that it'll stay put nicely.

Would like to replace my present lay in carpet. Something without the black rubber backing thet wears on the non skid and leaves a fine black residue. Any suggestions?

I got some indoor/outdoor carpet from Menards, copied my old factory lay in carpet, and then had bindings installed on the edges. It works pretty good, can't beat the price!

What is Menards--Like Home Depot or Lowes?

Correct. Cost me $0.43 sq ft for the carpet, and I just layed out the big roll I bought in my garage, traced the old carpet on the new, cut it out, and had it bound. Same exact size as the factory lay in, but without that black rubber backing to come apart.

Not a bad idea, but some of that carpet they sell is real thin, and bunches up and moves around and gets out of place easily. The pieces should be big enough to not be a real problem providing it is not too thin.

Check out http://www.corinthianmarine.com , they have all the factory carpet Four Winn's uses but with a vinyl ribbed backing as opposed to the black rubber stuff. I can send you some free sample swatches of various colors if you're interested.
