ecmilley Posted June 5, 2016 Report Posted June 5, 2016 Well after pricing out a couple brands of new boats decided to fix up the ranger new.powerhead live well timers water pressure Guage. Decided to do the carpet getting a little punky at 25 years old. Learned lots like not doing g it again lol. Progress so far.
porkpie Posted June 5, 2016 Report Posted June 5, 2016 Looks good! I have to redo the front deck on my boat. One side is starting to rot a little bit. I'm not looking forward to it. I think I'm going to do vinyl.
grimsbylander Posted June 6, 2016 Report Posted June 6, 2016 Looks really good. Did you pad the front deck?

grimsbylander Posted June 8, 2016 Report Posted June 8, 2016 Nope just carpet don't wanna get to spoiled Wanna be able to close my eyes and think I'm in a 521C. lol I want to do my carpet be realistically, it's still early. I can go another couple years for sure before I replace. I'm just too picky about my boat. Plus, it's my seats I really need to do. I hoping to find some Ranger buckets online and do the switch. If not, it'll be a reupholstering job.
aplumma Posted June 9, 2016 Report Posted June 9, 2016 Very nice job Ernie..... I rehabed a 1989 Ranger because of the way it rode. I ran the new ones and they don't behave the same. I keep the original motor and found it had already been converted to a GTX 150 which in it's day was a hot lick of a motor. All of the plumbing was redone on the live wells as well as electrical upgrades. I ended up with vinyl on the center part to land fish and keep carpet on the casting decks. The big improvement was converting it to hydraulic steering man what a difference. Art
