Some pics of my repainted bilge area. Sanded the non-skid down and filled in some holes. Just need to make new cover plates for my engine mount access holes.

Also recarpeting the cabin with 40 oz. carpet. I have about half the carpet stripped right now. I also cleaned up the cut-out around my intercooler with a router.

1980 checkmate enticer

I just recently bought a 1980 checkmate enticer. I was wondering does anyone know how to remove water that sounds like it's in the front haul of the boat

Jack the front up as high as you can.

Yeah I would jack the front up as high as you can and let it sit for a couple of weeks

Do these have that little wall near the bow that trap water like the Starflite and Starliner do?

 

[Eribas0508]

I did that already and did work for about two weeks

I even tried putting a plumbers snake 20ft long that is use to unclog drains but there isn't a straight clear path threw the drain plug.

You might want to start a new thread asking what to do. Might get a better response

Hadley, the boat is looking great!!! Mine has snap-out carpet in the cockpit and cuddy floor and I just had new pieces made out of 40oz carpet. Man what a difference!!!

Where are you guys buying the 40 oz carpet? I am going to replace the carpet in the Starflite and have only found 16 and 20 oz.

Are there any on line stores that sell black 40 oz in 6' x 20' segments?

I got mine through a local marine upholstry shop. They ordered it, cut it to match my old and put the binding on it for me.

I purchase mine at Corinthian Marine Carpet in Portland Oregon.
