    Man if your not careful, dirt can build up especially in the seats, took them all apart and cleaned them well, like new again. Water seems to be getting into the front vents, and making its way above the front speakers, little bit of mould i found ( or dry algea) but it cleaned up nicely.
    Storing my seats and cushions in the basement, with work i wont have time again to take her out, next week gets winterized and wrapped up for the winter.

    Couple questions since your pics peaked my curiosity!

    1. In the sky locker area, are there removable fiberglass sections, one for the sky locker, one over the fuel tank? It looks as they can be taken out from the pics

    2. was your carpet glued in? How did you get it out?

    3. In the bow, how did you get the lower sections under the seat out exposing the inner hull like that? Mine have carpet in them and Ive always been afraid to open them up, but it would be nice to do so for a few repairs.

    Thanks

    Yes 2 removable sections. Phillips screws. This model has a button down carpet, and thank godness for that, makes it easy to wash and clean, but it is the original carpet and its starting to show its age.
    The front seat cushion simply rests in, the left and right, are on hinge, easily removed. I took most of them out and store them in my basement for winter.
    Theres no carpet on this one, however, for some reason there was carpet where the access door is between the captains chair and passenger, and was one of the first thing i ripped out. It was almost impossible to keep dry, and smelt horrible. Lol

    Good to know! I wish mine had snap in carpet. Im afraid its glued and will be a pain to get out. but its getting nasty so it would be nice to rip in out and have a fiberglass floor.

    In the bow area on mine, the front seat is a cooler, the other two flip like yours and have storage under there. Did yours have compartments? It look as if from the pics that if you put stuff down there it could wind up in the hull? Or did you take out the inside?

    No it looks as if its intended for storage, theres simply an open area, but no "compartments". I can see the very front being a cooler, it has a water drain.. I purchased this boat at the beginning of this summer, and was eager to use it. Lol now that my season is over, the best way for me to get familiar with it is to take it all apart and see everything. You can tell they're built very well.
    I swear to god that rear bench seat is made of iron when i went to lift it out. Lol!

    You have a 180 as well?

    Might want to check your front water drain. Not sure why but mine goes to the carpet below and resulted in my bow floor rotting out.

    Yes i noticed that when i bought it and pulled the carpet out. I try to prop the door and seats open to allow air to circulate through, at the lake ive put a small fan on christmas light timer to dry the lower section out.
    Im scared ****less of water getting into the stinger area and pooling. But i believe their capsulated in resin, i thought i seen on the mariah build video.
