Sorry for the small pic but can't seem to figure out how to make the full size on the tablet.

I skipped hydroing the bench seat. I couldn't figure out how to lay out the hydro and hide the seams, went with carpet instead on it..

Thanks for all the pics. Still watching with great interest.

Jumped in the boat this weekend to get all the prep started. I will say this ripping out the carpet took all of 20 minutes. Cleaning the floor of glue, about another 5hrs. The floor seems the be pieced together somehow. It's smooth fiberglass on most the the floor but you can see patches around the vdrive and a white patch just froward of the center locker.

In my planing I thought I could get away with one set of seams between sheets but it's looking like it will be two because the sheet only come in a length of 60". Just hope I can get the seams together close enough that everyone's eyes won't be drawn to them. Also I'm going to try and bolt the two sections over the gas tank into one solid piece. That should cut down on the need the mold the Hydro over the sides some.

Any pictures of just the actual hydro turf material?

I'm here to please.

Probably bought more than I need but wanted extra for other areas. Got 4 sheets on Gray Molded Diamond for the floor and other places and 2 sheets of Gray Flat for the rear bench seat and back wall.

Might think about going ahead and replacing your steering cable while you have it all apart- if you haven't done this job already.

Is the steering cable a common issue with these boats?

It is a wearable item like brake pads and just needs to be replaced ever so often. Probably about time on a 2008 model.
