Man best carpeting video ive seen with great tips.. Im getting ready to carpet a 1992 Skeeter bass boat and this really helps. Thanks

Thank you thank you thank you! You are the first one I’ve stumbled across that actually tells people to lay everything out the same direction. Looks like you do great work. Coming from someone that has done auto and marine carpet and upholstery for 17+ years, I have a suggestion on some glue you can try that would streamline the process so much more. I use weldwood contact adhesive as well, but I use the landau top and trim spray grade adhesive, in my experience it is much better than a brush on glue because you can spray it and after about a minute stick it down without so much of a mess, plus it allows for a much more even coverage. It is a little bit pricier but you can spray it out of a standard gravity fed paint gun. Also, I know this will be a controversial topic, but you honestly do not need to strip every ounce of old glue off. The way I see it, if after a sharp scraper and a brush goes over it and smooths it out and there is still some left, than that glue is not coming off any time soon, and it will not affect how the carpet adhesive sticks to a lid or floor. Just my two cents, I know a lot of people will hate on it, but I always try and help out with advice when I can.

I love watching a perfectionist / artist. Thank you for an excellent video

I have a pro craft 180 combo that I bought carpet for about 10 yrs ago. I'm intimidated every time I look at it. After watching this video maybe now I can start on it. Thanks for making Video for us.

Thanks! This showed me everything I did wrong laying carpet in my boat. I feel much better knowing how I screwed up just about every part of the process. 🤔

This is by far the best video I have ever seen and was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you.

I have this exact boat and I just got my carpet from Amazon yesterday. I have contact cement and an exterior carpet. I replaced the floor with a sheet of aluminum and put a skin of aluminum over the plywood on the deck. I am adding some lighting and will build out the deck. Wish me luck! This video has been instrumental in my rebuilding my boat. Many years with my kids…..thanks

Just got my first bass tracker. 18 Ft Pro Team Tracker. And of course it needed the decks and carpet all redone. Thanks for the tips and tricks buddy. I was a little puzzled by how I was going to do the deck lids and channels around those lids. But you made it look easy man and I can do just about anything so should be easy enough. Great tutorial man. Thanks so much for the great video and your ability to explain things. Cheers brother now go hit the water and enjoy.

Anthony I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with your carpet video as well as the complete rebuild video of this bass tracker. Your attention to detail is above and beyond! I started a couple days ago with a 1997 bass tracker Tournament TX 17 that I've had for several years now, planning on a quick job of replacing carpet and not worrying alot about how well it turned out. Your videos have inspired me immensely. I can't begin to thank you enough for the time and information you put into what is obviously a huge passion of yours. I will know doubt be revisiting your videos. I am doing some before pictures and hopefully some after pictures. Would love to share with you. Again the work you do is amazing! God Blessed you with real talent!

THANK YOU for being so Thorough and providing so many Details it Really Helps me to understand how to Install Carpet CORRECTLY

This video gives me the confidence to recarpet my 18' boat. Thanks for the detailed explanation

Thanks for teaching us the art of “Crankin that Yank” exquisitely Cuzzo!✊🏾😁😎

Hey guy, I hope you are still beating your demons. Its been awhile since Ive been on your channel. Broke my back in 2 places along with a shattered pelvis, lots of surgeries. Glad to see you are building boats for folks now. Hope your family is doing good buddy, kids growing up fast, strong and healthy. I might be able to get back out on the water in 6 months...I hope. Enjoy life my friend, it can be cut short in a instant. Tight lines.

Nice man! exceptional work. I'm going a re-carpet on my dad's boat and your video is what i was looking for. I've never done a carpet install or anything like that on a boat. Thank you for this.

As always topnotch!!! Thanks for this, been waitin for it, now off to get mine done…thanks again!!!

Bad ass job man. Thanks. Doing mine this week as long as the carpet and seats get here in the next couple days

Outstanding talent.

Great Video and Explanation of entire project. Keep up the great Videos!

Perfect timing for me on this, thanks for the detailed video. I watched this after carpeting my first 2 panels of a 16’ tracker so many to go. I was paying attention to laying out the carpet all north-south off the roll into the boat front back but didn’t pay attention to if I flipped a piece to south north...figured the grain was the same but your “50 shades of grey “ comments made me check and no doubt, even keeping the grain in line but flipping to south north is super visible so thanks again. I got lucky my 2 were ok but I had one ready to start that wasn’t! PS regarding the contact cement. If you want to speed up application on a good sized project I might suggest DAP Weldwood Landau top sprayable version over the red can original. You can spray it from a cheap $20 harbor freight gun. Goes on way faster, more evenly and has quicker flash off. I think it’s what the factories all use, always looks sprayed to me. As a former car audio shop owner I upholstered a lot there and we always used it, when starting ,my boat I called DAP to ask and they suggest it over red can for boats, they said it’s more foe auto and outdoors, red is for countertops etc but obviously does work. You won’t find it in stores but Amazon etc has it. Just a thought

Best video on carpet I just did a bass tracker 17 came out so good. Followed your whole video awesome thank you

Nice job and thanks for sharing, That looks like a brand new boat brother!

I've been looking for this video foe awhile now. there's lots of videos but they all skip the little details like corners and folding etc. I have a old lund I bought and it's a mix of aluminum and wood and this video showed me everything for the carpeting. thanks so much. And man it looks good

Love your videos Anthony. I'm restoring a 1436 Jon boat and your information is extremely helpful. God bless.

You are a true master of your craft brother. Thanks for the vid!

Fantastic video, as always! I just completed my wood-decked project, using the same TEC adhesive and spreaders. It's great that it is water-cleanup (as long as it is still soft), because that can save minor mishaps. One thing I did to prevent fraying of cut-piece carpet edges is to use a hot knife to cut all my carpet parts. It's slower, but it seals the edges as you cut. With just a razor knife, it seemed that the carpet wanted to fray a bit when cut with the grain...and I used the same 20 oz carpet as you have on this project. One other tip...try a silver Sharpie when marking the back of the carpet -- they are amazing.

Best boat carpet diy video out there. Thanks Cuz!

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge 👍.. Best informative video on installing Bass boat carpet from A to Z !!!

You have inspired me to re carper my Tracker Pro Team 175. Thank you

Thanks man for the Pro tips and effort you put into making this video. Excellent work!

Excellent video!!! Thank you for making a difficult job easier!

Awesome Craftsmanship. Great video 👍

What a dang good video!! THANK YOU!

you ever try 3m super 90 ,,,,i’ve had excellent results with that ...one of the larger cruiser boat factory’s is close to me and they have used 3m 90 for all of their boats forever

Great job explaining very helpful

Awesome job brother!! Great tips and techniques. My Bass Tracker Pro Team 175 TXW needs this. Factory carpet just doesn’t last long.

Awesome job learned alot.thank you.😊

Learned a bunch of tips!

Looks amazing great job!!!

I would like to move two batteries up front by my trolling motor and would like to cut in a compartment for each on both sides of my pedestal seat. Where can I get the prefabricated hinged compartments. Yes I might as well re-carpet the rest of boat while I’m at it. Thanks in advance.

Hello Sir do you have a video on how you did the inside of the compartments?

What material would I need to do a 09 triton vt17

Thank you for your craft I appreciate the art of carpeting and trim work. I have seen all I need to know. By the way, I will let you know how it turned out.

Now this was good. I never even thought of the front to back layout. I am in the process of doing a 16ft 96 Sylvan sea monster ( more like a sea Guppy really). I am trying to figure out the flooring. It sat for years. After we cleaned out 2 feet of leaves trash bags full of who knows what ...did find some used diapers as well. So clean out took days. Cut out the 20 wood panels and covers. They were in bad shape. But the sub floor was marine grade 1/2 inch plywood. It remarkably are in good shape. Washed it down and I am stumped. I am going to recarpet all the cut outs in 20 ounce marine carpet. But what to do with the floor. It's all riveted down. So I don't have panels to pull up and redo. Thought of going with Kiwigrip paint. But it won't look to good in my opinion. I guess I will have to pull out the driver's console so I have an open flat surface to work with. Any thing different you should do on the floor than the panels?

Man you did a finominal jod! I really like the attention to detail. Great job.

Damn!!!!! Best video on the net to date

You do excellent work

You’re awesome dude! Wish you would do my 2019 Bass Tracker 195 TXW! 🤙

I've seen you apply marine carpet to aluminum, wood and fiberglass... my bass boat raised platforms are thick black plastic... what type (detail name of product adhesive) used to stick 20oz marine carpet to plastic platform. Your help would be greatly appreciated 😁

Where are you located? What is an estimated cost to recarpet a 16 foot bass tracker panfish boat? Thanks

Great video, thanks a learned a lot . any chance you making you way out to NJ ? it would make for a good video

WOW! lots of great info. I am going to do a 1992 Basstracker Pro 17. almost the same boat as you have here. Only one question, how did you screw the wooden decks down and not have the screw heads showing?

Great detailed video. Great job!

Anthony ,after you recarpet the wooden deck how do you hide the screw heads so they don't show when you screw it down?

I just did my 94 17ft xpress built all aluminum front deck extension found hatchs like my boat has on ebay i recarpeted it looks new now even carpet decals

Exceptional job! What does a job like that cost a customer on a boat that size ?

Thank you this really helped

Outstanding video

Outstanding!

Dang this turned out great. I am about to do my 89 Ranger bass boat. I need all the help I can get.

Great vid, looks awesome !

Where did you find the center console shown at the end of the Tracker Boat Carpet video. Looks like a very nice center step.

Damn bro you do some bad ass work

Awesome video! Did you use the Platinum color?

What’s the gap used with 20oz carpet on a wood deck? Was it mentioned or did I miss that

Excellent video.

I would like to know your opinion on the bassboat progator boat? thank you

11:35 i cried laughing !!!!! great vid plenty of good tips...

My boat needs a recarpet bad but I don’t have the time. You wouldn’t happen to be in North Carolina would you?

I have the exact, what would cost to get my boat carpet replace?

Good job bro

Awesome job and great video.

amazing video....very informative....thanks!!

How much for something like this. Would love to send u my jon boat

Hey sir have you ever tried the razor blades with the hooks on the ends? They work way better than regular razor blades and are designed specifically for cutting carpet. Great in depth video

If I did a carpet job as you have done here what would I need to charge? Do you have a price per foot of boat?

Do you do this for anybody or just certain people you know?

Anthony, Have you ever glued rug or marine vinyl flooring to PVC sheeting. I used 3/4" PVC for my boat floor. Now I need to glue on flooring . What do you recommend for this application.

where are you located? I have an Alumacraft that needs new carpet.

Where did you get the new screws and rivets for deck and hatch lid hinges ?

Took 25ft of carpet all mine layed directional

Howdy, do you recommend 16oz or 20oz carpet for my bass boat? Thanks!

How much is this job cost?

Great video on the techniques you use. The contact cement you’re using is labeled as water resistant, so I contact DAP. Their rep indicates that DAP does not have a recommended contact cement for marine applications. They referred me to 3M. Please confirm the product is OK.

Badass bro...

Hey I have the same boat and I am carpeting it. I ran into an issue when I used the same context cement that you do. The carpet is not sticking well is there anything that you could recommend I have already tried putting wood blocks to secure it better, but it still comes undone. Thanks

What color is the carpet 11 platnium ?

I need to know, did you put the hardener in the resin when you were doing your boards to better waterproof them?

What length of carpet do you order to completely recarpet a 17’ Tracker?

멋지네요 very nice video

How much carpet did that take and what would it cost to do a 18ft tracker jet boat

Where do I get replacement plastic piece that the trolling motor plugs into mounted into the bow ?what would that be called?

What thickness plywood do you use? Marine plywood or what kind??

36:14 could you tell me where I might find a center console like that? I’d like to replace my center seat with one.

I am a 30-year professional installer, I'm working on a bid for a bass boat, what is the average that you charge for an install?

Where did you get the storage bin between the seats ?

I'm a subscriber and I'm having a problem installing carpet around the bezel & shifter on my tracker. Do you carpet around the throttle or remove the shifter all together ? I'm a little confused about how to do it... Thanking you in advance, Butch

How much carpet did this boat take I have the exact boat I’m about to start doing?

I have a pro team 185 what width and length carpet do you suggest for recarpeting?

Would this technique also work on a fiberglass bass boat?

What color is that carpet?
