Found out that Home Depot had some really cheap marine carpet that matched the old stuff.
The fishing thread ( not about fish fertilizer)

Thanks!
I really wish i did something else for work. It is very difficult to finish a day at the job and continue doing it after.
I should really be done with all the sidedecks, anchor locker, and engine well at this point. I basically have use of the shop from july to september, but with the working temps that time of year it is tough to keep going.
I really need to get it in my garage at home, and get some shit done

Meh. They tend to wander aimlessly.
I'm done with wood in my boats! Current (and last) is a 21' x 5' all welded aluminum riverboat with a 60/40 Merc Jet & a Minkota remote controlled GPS 24 v trolling motor. Looking closely you will notice the tunnel forward of the pump uptake, this girl will run on wet grass!
She will out live me.

The jet outboards are a pretty awesome thing.
Theyve started to get them very close to a regular outboards fuel efficiency. Not the jet drives of the past

I saw a similar rig with 3/8 inch woven rubber? Mat on the bottom, for rocks.

My hardwater season is shrinking big time. In ny teens we drove out and needed an extension sometimes. Alot of our stuff is still open in the middle and just started seeing guys start to carefully venture onto some spots. 10 yrs ago we were fishing before Christmas every yr 7” in canada end of January seems crazy to me

It's nuts. Should be 14" of ice and it's 7". Lakes not even frozen over just bays etc
Nice looking rig my friend.
How do you like that Tohahtsu? I've not had any experience with them but they seem to be really charging into the small/medium outboard market.
Dad bought a new 21' Starcraft open fisherman in 1973 - put a new 115 H/P 2 stroke Yamaha on in 1999 and passed it on to me in 2000.
Handheld GPS said top speed was 48 MPH but it felt more like 80!

yo gwn,
i had a rope pull, 2 stroke 25 yamaha on her before the tohahtsu.
the electric start and power trim and jack plate makes it alot easier to operate.
but the 25 2 stroke was faster getting on step
all in all its been a great motor, i bought it new and keep the oil changed, should be the last out board i buy.
