I used the applicator shown above with the 6700 carpet adhesive to cover my floor panels last year with great results.   The trick with the 6700 is following the directions to a T, especially the drying 100% before contacting any form of water. Let it dry for a few days at the right tempiture and it should be fine.

Thomas, what type of carpet are you installing? Are you keeping it original?

Also keep all your carpet pieces running in the same direction.   If one piece gets turned around, it shows and you probably won't be happy.

Thomas,
Get enough carpet to at least replace what's under the helm. After replacing the easy areas, you'll be a pro at it and the area under the helm will go real easy.

Got the old carpet out

Nacimento i would consider my local lake. Don Pedro over in San Joaquin valley is my favorite lake but only make it over there 2-3 times a year due to travel distance.

I'm working on it. I'm in middle of a full boat restoration so I get caught up in other projects and bounce around from task to task. I got the carpet rough cut to shape for the floor and side walls but before I fit them I decided I would do all the gel coat work first so I don't sling polish and sanding dust all over the new carpet. So won't get to install the carpet for a couple weeks till gel coat is done. It's not letting me attach pictures here it says Iv "already uploaded a file with that name". I have a thread going at planet nautique forum called "2002 SANTE resto project" under the General nautique discussion tab. My carpet pics are posted there and more to come as I start installing it.

Damn, looking above at my post a few replays up there is a picture of the new carpet rolled out on my driveway. That pic used to be a picture of all the carpet removed from my boat. Now since I tried to upload some new carpet pics the one that I did get loaded went up to that old post and replaced the original picture there. Is anyone else seeing that or is it just me and my phone is screwed up?
