Been restoring this 180 islander for a few months now. I decided to put carpet back in the boat instead of the non skid paint. Did the carpet in, in my driveway. Waiting to get interior back this week. Will post pics when I get it back and put in. IMG_0202.JPG. IMG_0124.jpeg

What year islander are you restoring. I just bought a 96 and it needs a few things

Good to see other people are keeping the 180's alive, they're great little boats. I restored mine this year...pictures are on the Baja Boat Owner forum (I'm under the name 'splitmushroom' there) http://bajaboatowners.com/threads/65...0-Project-pics

Any chance you could post your pics on here I'd love to see it. Planning on redoing my upholstery this winter and maybe the carpet. The guy that owned it be for me put trim tabs on it so I might also see if I can find so.e LED indicators

I am thinking of doing Sea Dek instead of carpet. not sure how it will work in the uncoated fiberglass though. What did you end up doing?
