Looking for a quote as to how much it would cost for someone who knows how to do bass boat recarpeting if anyone does or knows someone who does. I have a 1987 champion that will need it.

Do a search for GW, Gary Watts is the man you want to contact, he has done many of the angler's on this forum's boats. He is the best!!

I see him over on calbassin.com more often than here.

Just drill them out with a small bit and replace them with screws. I order my carpet thru Bass Cat web site. Make sure you order the 24 wigth as it's alittle heavier. Think I measure my boat from front to back allowing space for the lip on the compartment it came out to 19'. Bass Cat recommend you order extra in case you come out short so I order 24'.
Use your old carpet for the pattern when cutting out the new carpet. Took me about aweek to do it as I only work acoupal of hours aday on it.
You can go to Home Depot and buy the carpet glue there. I used 2 (small ) container to do the whole job and had some left.
Any question, you can e-mail me at fishwithron2@yahoo.com
