And the paint, for both the trailer and the boat, what kind did you use? The boat I'm doing is so similar to yours. I just want to make sure the paint holds up.

I have a 12ft aluminum I recently gutted out. My bare floor is similar to yours. with the small humps across the bottom I was just wondering how did you lay the carpet? Does the carpet lay over smooth? I was thinking about laying down rubber mats myself but carpet seems to be a little cheaper. Thanks for any help. Hello indy I’m working on a similar project.
