My carpenter buddy, Jimmy and I got the new carped glued in today. man
it's gonna look good. had to quit because of the heat in the building.
besides we got most of the dirty work done and the carpet glue should
have a good stand over the weekend.

Instead of having the two forward seats on pillars like original, i
got thinking that mounting them on boxes would help use up a lot of
dead space underneath, and I remember seeing a restore/modification a
guy did to a cool looking SleekCraft on Iboats.com, and I got a good
idea of what I wanted. Jimmy said it wouldn't be a problem....

May as well use the open space for decent storage.
