The STBD side before:
The Port side afterwards:
I removed the lower and upper wood trim pieces, I pulled the burlap out. I scraped the glue off with a putty knife. There were dobs of somthing thicker and scrapped it with a razer. I wiped it down with an acetone rag, and though it still looked ugly was relatively smooth. The front edge had a bunch of glue residue so I scraped it with a razor and again used acetone to clean it up.
I used 6 foot wide navy blue outdoor carpet from Lowes and a can of 3M spay adhesive. I cut a strip 13.5 inches wide and 6 foot long, sprayed the glue and started at the top and worked the carpet in the curves. Trimed the edge with a razor and installed the wood strips. Behind where the electrical panel I drilled 4 1 inch holes to run battery and load wires down through.
I also remove both rear wooden shelves and pulled the burlap off. There were what seemed like a hundred staples to pull out. I'm thinking of sanding and priming then painting with the blue enamel I'm using on the rudder and hull.
