Where is that? Is it near Forest Lake? Is it the same place as the Bakkens Bait on Hwy 65?

Sorry... looks like it's a ways further south than I thought from the cities.

Either way.. Steve has done projects for many on this forum and many have been very happy with his work. Might be worth a phone call.

Well looks like I am going to tackle the carpeting already started removing it and removed some bad plywood if I replace the plywood can I just use an exterior grade and then seal it with oil base enamel? 17.5 sea nymph fish & ski Who has a good selection of carpeting?

I'm in the process of recarpeting my whole boat too. You could use a nice AC exterior wood and seal it with epoxy or spar varnish. As for carpeting, I got mine online. They are usually all free shipping. Make sure you get marine carpeting, with rubber backing. Otherwise its not going to last. I got mine last week, 8.5x26 ft and it was right around $220. Real happy with it.

Look in the outdoor news there's a guy that has a big ad. He's right across the river in stillwater he did my boat and I felt it wasn't worth my time for what he charged me.
