$1,500 OLD BASS BOAT RESTORATION From Craigslist! *EVA FOAM*
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This is my first "Boat Build" on a 2004 Bass Tracker Pro Team 185 and honestly this HJDECK EVA Foam from Amazon completely changed the look, motivation, and mindset for this BOAT! Very Happy with this Build so far! The 90HP Mercury is a MONSTER and now we are just upgrading the boat to more modern look!
If you are contemplating this PROJECT - Just try it and learn from your mistakes! This was my first time ever using EVA FOAM and it was very simple after prepping and applying.

How is the foam holding up on the corners of your lids? I noticed you rolled it around from top to bottom. Did you pin it on the bottom or just let the adhesive do it’s job?

Hey, I recently got a boat very similar to this (2004 bass tracker pt 185). I’m looking to do a very similar design with eva foam, if you don’t mind either replying to this comment or maybe even making a video about how well it’s holding up and anything that you would’ve done differently or would recommend for someone like me going into a project like this. Thanks!
