This video has been immensely helpful for me to approach my carpeting phase with "eyes wide open", and I'm so grateful that you posted it! I'm just getting ready to start applying all of my carpet in a day or two. I have all of my pieces cut out (using 20 oz bass boat carpet). The carpet has a black-ish rubbery backing, and I found it extremely helpful to use a silver Sharpie to annotate the back of each piece with bow direction (an arrow), piece number (I numbered all of my hatches), and alignment marks so I can precisely place each deck/hatch piece onto the carpet. One concern I had was fraying on the edges, so I used a cheap hot knife to cut all of my pieces...it worked great, and "cauterized" all of the edges for a fray-free finish. Just gotta watch the fumes!
Sensational video with every bit of information anyone will ever need for a professional finish fitting carpet to plywood panels. You have saved a lot of people from having to do re-work man. Legend
Thank you sir. Just bought my first boat and it needs all new carpet and luckily I found your video and I feel way more confident now before I work on it. Thank you
I’m getting ready to put a deck in my boat and that color light thing is going to make a huge difference. Thank you so much. This is my favorite video for carpet work
Appreciate the video! I used some outdoor carpet to cover ply in a van conversion and all your tips were in play. Final product looks incredible. All th best!
@@charliepatton6333 lol but you can’t keep wood off the transom? I think solid foam like in sea fox boats is much better than marine plywood. I’ve seen ranger’s transoms ripped off entirely much more than other brands of bass boats
I guess im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
Attention to detail is (partly) what separates a profession looking job from a sloppy amateur job. Thanks for pointing that out. I wouldn't have know otherwise.
GREAT attention to detail!! If you’re that particular about your boat, I imagine your fish extremely well. Very informative and thanks for the insight. Norwich, UK 🇬🇧 ,
Thanks for the tips brotha the corner idea worked the best cutting the extra off and leaving the corner to pull and staple. Huge help man keep the videos coming much love from Massachusetts 508
Just stumbled on this and just had to comment and "thumbs-up"! I'm planning a deck renovation on my Lowe 170 that has a carpeted aluminum deck with framed plastic hatches screwed into the deck. I'm done with the uneven surfaces and walking on the hatches and will extend the deck into the oversized cockpit as well as sink my new Ultrex pedal into the deck. I plan to use a similar method as you did and this info is most helpful. Thanks a bunch!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats from one obsessive person to another: it would be even cleaner if you peeled back the left and right sides of that corner, and tucked that little tail underneath them, instead of stapling it on top.
Great information about how flipping the carpet can change the look. Didnt know that, luckily did mine all one way but it does make a difference for sure
I am a single mom and nothing will get between me, my girl and the water..I have to do a lot of things DIY to make it happen. So frickin happy I ran across your vid! Love all your tricks..baseball bat, glue, wrench, corners, carpet direction!! Love your attention to detail, I never would have thought of all that. Budget carpet shopping tomorrow and doin this! Since my boat is a chic boat and my daughters name is Chanel, we named her the "Emo-Chanel". Get it? lol! See you on the water!! xoxo
Awesome to hear! I appreciate the positive feedback and glad to know it will help you "make it happen" for your daughter! Love the name! If you need any more tips, ive got more videos on other stuff. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help! Only way you'll see me on the water is if you live in Georgia! lol. Thanks again!
This was an excellent video. The attention to detail and explanation was spot on. As a woodworker, I call that grain. Wood has a grain and a lot of manufactured materials, textiles, carpets, fabrics, etc. Since you are a turf guy, you know greens on a golf course have a grain too and affect the roll of the ball. Liked and Subscribed. Not that I need another "dink", but I am buying a 1448 tomorrow at 8am. 👍
Bro, thank you so much! I just bought the same carpet for my 14' Alumacraft decking. This really helped me work out the finite details. Your the second person who has told me about the grain going in the same direction. I like things done perfect, so thanks for helping me out.
Great job, very useful information! Im about to start decking and then on to carpet, thanks for sharing so now im confident the job will turn out great!
@@AnthonyJonesBrigadeBoats definitely liked and subscribed man. Watching all the other videos now! I love the hidden hinge video. Brilliant. Much respect man!
Im in alabama and got to re-carpet my little boat. Been watching alot of youtube on this and was wandering now that its been a min if the carpet has held up. Thanks for the video..
Anthony, you are meticulous with your work and it shows. Because of watching this video particularly-my 14' lowe modified vee casting deck has snowballed into tons more!!
Thank you! I am sometimes TOO detailed but your story is exactly how my boat started out. I told the wife I just wanted a small casting deck, nothing fancy....lol
First off the carpet job looks excellent and professional! Very nice. They call that carpet grain and when I do mine, The first thing I do is roll the carpet out and on the back side I write with a sharpie arrows for direction. Normally The arrows point to the bow of the boat. This way you always know the direction of the grain and I do the same with the lids, put an arrow on it pointing to the bow so it helps from screwing it up! I also like how you did that corner. On Bass Boats we do it a little different because of the lid design but for your application your method works best and will hold up longer. I'm going to try that method. Thanks!
Thanks a ton. Just getting ready to tackle my 16' bass master and I love the practical but professional advice. I'm on a tight budget but I still want it to look the very best ot can. You have helped with that. Subscribed on Instagram and you have a ton of great photos
Great tips man, I live in athens and just started a rebuild on an old alumacraft super bandit. I've never tackled anything like this but took some inspiration from tbnation and went for it, but this video definitely made me more confident in moving into my decking and carpeting! Keep up the good work man 👌
Excellent, informative video, Anthony! I’ve referred to this video several times while doing my jon boat modifications. I’m not doing as extensive a build, but the pliers tip for stretching and the rolled corners tip is invaluable. I had bought that same satin finish Coastal Gray for my interior paint and a very similar, if not the same, carpet from Home Depot before I ever found this video. The satin Coastal Gray looks fantastic. It’s not as reflective as a gloss or semi-gloss finish (which is what you want inside the boat), but looks sharper and is easier to clean than a flat or matte finish. I really recommend it for your interior if nothing else. I’m using rubber anti-fatigue mat and foam paneling for the floor instead of carpeted plywood. It’s much lighter than plywood, it’s waterproof and non-slip, and it’s easy on your feet. It fits snug, but it can be easily removed for cleaning. It usually comes in black, but it will take and hold paint nicely too. You can find it dirt cheap at Tractor Supply (horse stall mat) or Harbor Freight (anti-fatigue mat).
Thanks for the props and feedback! Sorry, I'm a bit behind on responses, but thanks for checking my stuff out. I will be using a new product on all my decking for the next build. No carpet, stay tuned! Thanks again
Hey Jones love your work mate I'm about to make a carpeted board to mount a fridge for the back of my Landcruiser and it had me buggered how to do the corners and your idea is simple and effective. Cheers Mate from Western Australia (Covid free woo hoo )
just came across your channel. Thanks for all the info. starting my restoration and build of a 16' flat bottom in the morning. can't wait to implement some of your ideas. awesome work bro.
Really helpful video. In the process of doing this now to my Lowe jon boat. What type of latches did you use? I see they are black and look to be just a lift out. Do that grab anywhere or just to lift the hatch up? Also, do your hatches have hinges or just lift out? Thanks
Man you did a fantastic job with your carpet. I am very impressed and i will most certainly be copying the tips you shared in your video. Keep up the good work.
I like your video. I am planning on getting a Jon Boat from my wife on Christmas( I haven't told her yet) I haven't decided on a flat, V bottom etc. yet but your build looks good and gives me great idea if I get a V bottom. I am moving to Texas before I get a boat and hopefully will be there around first part of Dec. haven't decided on what type ALUM boat yet but I do want to add a deck etc. with carpet and you have some great info about it that I never thought about.
