Thought I was maniatico in doing stuff, used to be that way, getting slower now pushing 80, 😢 but still at it, I'll stop when my # is up, finished rebuiling, customizing a 1971, 17' Orlando Clipper, repowered w/Evinrude 60 hp. E Tec, not as good as yours but serves my purpose, have to be able to rely on my lonesome, looks like we have something in common, tight lines ! "Bravo"

Good luck Captain. We can’t wait to see the finished product. Safe travels from Folly Beach, SC

It’s going to look great and you know and we all know from watching your channel it will be done right this time. Be safe captain

Can't wait to see the finished product Cap! Your work is always impressive! Can't wait to see what you do.

Thank you captain for sharing all of these videos about your boat. We were planning to buy a pilot boat for our trash pick up and Lionfish dives but based on your experiences with this boat, we are leaning towards a walk around Proline. Be safe out there.

I keep a dehumidifier in my cabin running at all times with an extension cord to my house. I also have a big fan in there that runs on a timer twice a day for 30min. No mildew.

I’m at a loss for words here Capt-You went off the hook on this one my friend.Im sure you have a good plan to make it all look ok I’m looking forward to that. My boats cabin is All vinyl. It’s applied the same way as the carpet only it’s not carpet.I doesn’t get mildew spots on it And it’s very good looking. That’s always an option man-that should only take a year to install to your standards😝can’t wait to see the next phase man

Love watching your videos you have done such a fantastic job with your videos and that sweet little boat.

Nice job! I ripped out all the carpeting from my 21' bowrider this past summer and put down a product called Tuff Coat. You will be itching for a day or two. Can grind that smooth around the pump out pipe for a more finished look. Can't wait to see the finished product!

Hi Capt... Wow, unbelievable! That is a lot of work! I look forward to seeing how you finish the inside.... I don't like the carpet either. It's just a cheap way, and a lot of boat companies use it. At least the carpet is a step-up (a small step!) from the 'bunny-fur' junk that was used on a lot of boats in the 1970's-1980's... The 'carpet' is a sore subject with a lot of boaters, including a lot of Parker owners.... I clean ours with Resolve carpet cleaner and vacuum it about once a year. So far, in our climate it has not been too bad...

Wow Cap! You have no fear, nice job, cant wait to see the paint.

Hi again Capt. from Michigan. That is a very ambitious project. My Polar 23 Walkaround cabin is white gelcoat. I like it, it’s bright and easy to clean. Looking forward to see how you finish it.

..good job, fine tuning the air quality for a healthy boating environment, keep safe skipper and enjoy...

Big project captain, but I’m sure it’s going to come out better than factory. You always take your time to get things done right, I can’t wait to see the next video.

Great video! Very perceptive! information!

👀 I love Florida rain it will put you asleep so fast😊

Thats a lot of work capt!

La lluvia no para Capitan......... tremendo trabajo........ am sure it’s going to look awesome!!!! Suerte.......

Wow 😮 voy a ti y pago hasta doble capitán siempre me impresiona con tu videos saludos y bendiciones

You are a brave man, Capt! Make sure you always utilize dehumidifiers when you are finished. I have 3 in our boat. One went down a couple weeks ago and you can def smell and feel the humidity - and I am in So. Cal!

Love your vids!

You lost your marbles captain! I haven’t see a cabin boat with carpet that didn’t have a little mildew.. just keep a dehumidifier on at the house or a Mildew rid off bucket and be done . But you enjoy hard work , so forget it

You just can't leave stuff alone! LOL! 🤣 And that's what I love about you! Good job getting that carpet out of there! That would have just caused health problems for sure! Can't wait to see what's next! Thanks for sharing! 😎👍⚓

That's a lot of work my brother, but it will be worth it in the end. Tight lines.

Wow nice job capt

Good idea with the torch. 😁

Good information, I would have never thought about carpet on the inside hiding imperfections

Awesome!

When you have your boat at home, you may want to put some Damprid in. It'll help in drawing out the moisture. May help in keeping some of the mold growth down.

Dam Capt! U sure this job is big enough to tackle? Lol this is a genius idea I already know it's gonna set a trend just wait & see 💪💪💪💪

Awesome video once again ! I commented on another video about a Steiger craft (which has no carpet)- are you happy with the enclosed cockpit or do you wish it were open with roll up canvas ? Any issue with the step down ? Do port and starboard windows also open ?

When you are done, I would add a dehumidifier. I had the same issue and I put a dehumidifier in and it helped tremendously. Good luck with your project Capt.

Saludos jodiste la lancha. Espero que quede bien. Suerte!!!!

Nice job 👍🏾

On my 1992 Grady, we call that material monkey fur. I clean it with Clorox cleanup, once a year. Slept 100s of nights in the cabin. Bulletproof though. Where I used to keep the boat guys just ran the ac all the time, the humidity in the cabin was so heavy, you can see it like a fog. Otherwise some guys keep an incandescent bulb lit. But I even get mold on the underside of the hardtop, and I don’t use canvas anymore. I bet mold on the plastic pads on the armrests, and the poly seat components. 3M makes a spray for anti mold, don’t know if it works. I stay with the Cleanup, just have to let it soak, keep it wet. Then I use a vinyl treatment. Doesn’t last a season in NY.

How’s the paint gonna react to the spray adhesive or how do you plan to remove the adhesive?

Good luck man. That’s why I purchased a STEIGER craft instead. No wood and no carpet at all on the boat. Hope the project turns out well.

Can’t wait to see the finished product, work 24/7 if you have too😊

nice work! U can use some plaster marine for interior and the paint! Good videos as usual! Cheers from Romania

Gelcoat is the answer!

After you burned off the hairs what did u do to prep it before paint?? I ripped the carpet out in the v birth and got the hairs and glue left behind. I can burn off the hairs but this glue left behind is nearly impossible to get off clean even with acetone. Thanks project looks great.

Great info buddy, that is quite a project. Will you add something to deaden the noise you generate when inside? 👍👍🤙🤙

When will you be doing part 2? i'd love to do this on my older parker. Thanks Cap

That happens to my boat too I put Clorox with a spray every two months

Where did you get that storage pouch that was in front of the anchor locker?

Awesome work pal! Looks great. Wondering if you could do me a favor. In an earlier video, you had a solar shower and curtain that you used. Could you tell me which video and what you are using? Finally retired 2 months ago.... picking up my C-dory 22 cruiser next week and want to show the better half your shower set-up. Many thanks!

Why you need this carpet? It looks like the carpet covers the bad fiberglass job Parker did. Go and see Jeanneau NC 695 - similar boat. No carpet, just perfect fiberglass walls and cushions. Looks clean!!!

Parker uses a lot of wood on their boat (I hope it's type marine wood). I noticed when you drill your deck to install the fridge wood particle after the fiberglass.

I have a 2520 sc I would like to do the same thing . Waiting to see how yours turns out 👍

Waiting your next video. Good luck

Wow thats crazy! Cheap material from the factory? Florida humidity?

which means Parker boats use a cheap type of carpet instead of mildew resistant carpet for marine use, I need to do the same thing on my pilot house due to exposure to sun and started to deteriorate from UV.

Ouchhhh 2:55 me diste en la nariz 😜. Buena remodelación

Do you leave the boat closed up with no ventilation when you are not using it? You might consider adding a solar vent plus the Damp Rid I mentioned earlier. Safe travels.

quiero saber si haciendo esto no sientes que le quitaste insolate al bote, el AC trabaja igual? thanks.

Did you sand the fiberglass... to get adhesive from the carpet

You are going to find without the carpet it will get much hotter, the carpet is also for Insulation. Great Job I was wondering what you are replacing the carpet with.

im with you that mold and mildew is horrible. How is the paint holding up? Looks great.

Have you tried running the AC all the time at 78 degrees when at home? That works for me.

Having a constant active flow of air even when the bodt is in storage stops mildew. Well it did for me. Google solar boat ventilator. They are quiet, effective, easy to install, sucking out up to 20 cubic meters of air and also run at night from the inbuilt battery that charges again during the day.

my trophy had the same problem , after stripping out the carpet and painting it seemed to have gotten worse do to the difference in temperature between the water and cabin. try some marine stretchable vinyl and glue

You’re going to want to add some sound deadening strips with all that carpet removed!!

No carpet is one of the main reasons why I went with Steiger Craft. You still have a nice boat..

Capt, how old is your boat? You’re a jack of all trades!

Hey Captain. Do you have, or is it necessary for a carbon monoxide alarm inside the cabin? Really love and thoroughly enjoy all of your videos!

What paint did you end up using?

One thing you may consider is looking at sailrite website for the leather like headliner that doesnt get mildew

It doesn’t take too long before mildew and mold take over boat cabins in Florida . I’ve seen boats less than a year old that you couldn’t stand to be in the cabin because of the smell . It will be interesting to see what product you use inside . Like someone else suggested. I think you’ll have to use something to deaden the sound . But what ? There most be a material that’s resistant to mold and mildew??? And like someone else brought up how is the adhesive going to react to whatever you put on ? Something to think about maybe ?

Man just one problem after the next with that boat. Its a good thing you know how to fix all those thing yourself. Us normal people would have paid big bucks to fix all those problems.

What year is your Crooked Pilot House Boat? Just curious if it was new when you purchased it?

Time for a 25ft Parker boss

Most water intrusion is from hull join areas. Seal rubrail. Top and bottom

What year make and model is this boat? Great work BTW.

My boston whaler had mold growth and no carpet ..all gelcoat.

Have you lost you Mind !!! lol 😂

I haven’t been able to find the link with the name of the paint

Captain, what you planning to do,painting,are you considered upholstered panels?,you can attach them with velcro,less work

saludos cap

Are you going to paint or gelcoat or what?

Cap, sometimes I wonder if you are mi hermano de otra madre. We both seem to have the same OCD when it comes to our boats. But you have gone too far. This seems job seems insurmountable. I wish you much luck and patience. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

Better to take the carpet out, I'd paint the interior fiberglass mildew resistant marine white.

I think this ai good idea, however I disagree on reason they use carpet. The main reason is to reduce noise in the cabin from running the boat on the water. If they wanted to just cover up imperfections then they would'n't have put the sound mat under the carpet and also because its faster and cheaper than gel coat to keep the overall cost down. You forgot to mention that removing all that carpet and mat removed some weight. How much weight did all that carpet and mat weigh?

You didn’t try a dehumidifier?

Wait! You have the AC running in storage and you still get mildew?

The first function of any air conditioner is to remove humidity if the unit is too big for the boat it will cool down very fast but never run long enough to to dehumidify happens in houses all the time

Did you ever use a de-humidifer when keeping it on the trailer ?

I’ve owned many Parker’s over the years. The older ones didn’t have carpeting, only paint. The finish was pretty rough and every fastener was exposed. You are going retro.

Hi Captain good morning can you send me a link about the shark repellent Equipment The one you use on your feet please and also Tell me if that thing work for you thank you captain have an Excellent day

Our 'monkey fur' was straight-up disintegrating (2003) so it also had to go. unfortunately it didn't pull out so easily...

Good work. Carpet doesn’t belong on a boat.

I keep a bucket of Damp-Rid in the center console where the head is. It keeps mold from growing. You can get it at Home Depot. I switch it out every two months. People have been using Damp-Rid in their cabins for years. Even after you finish the remodel, you still might consider keeping one maybe two buckets in the cabin because mold grows even in places you can't see.

Rain and No Coffee while Repair? No Fun capt..Lol..that time we used the Sound and heat proof paint first as isolate..then put the new one khaki colour material as in cat use..easier to clean..

Get .. ..yourself a small battery powered Sawzall . Work great

Saws-all with several demo blades! Less than 20 min ..... whala.....

capitan te volviste loco as dejado pelado el bote lo desmantelaste completo que le vas a poner

I'm surprised to see so much wood used on Parker boats, including as the hull core. Not good.

I never could understand why Parker still carpet they boats. It was easy decision for me between Parker or Stiger craft. I chose Stieger Craft no carpet and no step down in to a cabin.

Too bad you couldn’t find a mildew resistant material to replace the carpet with.

Mrs. Captain must hate you...lol

Can someone tell me why it is a Crooked PilotHouse?
