I’m at a loss for words here Capt-You went off the hook on this one my friend.Im sure you have a good plan to make it all look ok I’m looking forward to that. My boats cabin is All vinyl. It’s applied the same way as the carpet only it’s not carpet.I doesn’t get mildew spots on it And it’s very good looking. That’s always an option man-that should only take a year to install to your standards😝can’t wait to see the next phase man

Out On The Reef Still use the dehumidifier. It’s all about moisture. You are in south Florida so except maybe for 3 months a year the humidity is 85% plus. That along with air circulation will keep not only the mildew away but make the cabin smell better. Its why a closed up live well or coffin box that is all gelcoat mildews also, need to air them out as much as possible

[@roger9453]

You are a brave man, Capt! Make sure you always utilize dehumidifiers when you are finished. I have 3 in our boat. One went down a couple weeks ago and you can def smell and feel the humidity - and I am in So. Cal!

[@andrewfyakim525]

Hi Capt... Wow, unbelievable! That is a lot of work! I look forward to seeing how you finish the inside.... I don't like the carpet either. It's just a cheap way, and a lot of boat companies use it. At least the carpet is a step-up (a small step!) from the 'bunny-fur' junk that was used on a lot of boats in the 1970's-1980's... The 'carpet' is a sore subject with a lot of boaters, including a lot of Parker owners.... I clean ours with Resolve carpet cleaner and vacuum it about once a year. So far, in our climate it has not been too bad...

[@OutOnTheReef]

Very true captain and especially here in Florida there's more humidity so that's why probably your boat is a lot better conditions than mine even though mine is newer

[@Marz78963]

When you have your boat at home, you may want to put some Damprid in. It'll help in drawing out the moisture. May help in keeping some of the mold growth down.

[@robertp7209]

On my 1992 Grady, we call that material monkey fur. I clean it with Clorox cleanup, once a year. Slept 100s of nights in the cabin. Bulletproof though. Where I used to keep the boat guys just ran the ac all the time, the humidity in the cabin was so heavy, you can see it like a fog. Otherwise some guys keep an incandescent bulb lit. But I even get mold on the underside of the hardtop, and I don’t use canvas anymore. I bet mold on the plastic pads on the armrests, and the poly seat components. 3M makes a spray for anti mold, don’t know if it works. I stay with the Cleanup, just have to let it soak, keep it wet. Then I use a vinyl treatment. Doesn’t last a season in NY.

Thank you so much Robert for the awesome information really appreciate your help

[@jasonbeaudoin8359]

Mike A I went with the Steiger craft because of the construction all hand laid fiberglass, fiberglass stringer system fiberglass deck there’s no plywood. The Steiger craft has more weight gives a nicer ride. Plus there is no step down to go into the cabin. Just my two cents.

[@OutOnTheReef]

After you burned off the hairs what did u do to prep it before paint?? I ripped the carpet out in the v birth and got the hairs and glue left behind. I can burn off the hairs but this glue left behind is nearly impossible to get off clean even with acetone. Thanks project looks great.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Well Jeff what I did I paint over it and it looks a little rustic but it looks great in my case I don't know how bad your sis but it's a little rough in some areas but the white pain has that a little bit and if you use the paint I use use very thin coats because if you apply steak and takes a long time to dry

Parker uses a lot of wood on their boat (I hope it's type marine wood). I noticed when you drill your deck to install the fridge wood particle after the fiberglass.

yes it is , and is marine grade i tested it by leaving a piece of wood from the boat outside for 2 years and is intact i was surprised, the wood is great quality cap.

Do you leave the boat closed up with no ventilation when you are not using it? You might consider adding a solar vent plus the Damp Rid I mentioned earlier. Safe travels.

[@OutOnTheReef]

I leave the air conditioner blower withdrawing the air from the cabin 24 hours a day and it doesn't help that much

[@CS_590]

What about using a dedicated dehumidifier instead of AC? It will reduce the true humidity levels further. You could just set the unit in the pilot house when it’s in the driveway and empty the tank every few days

Having a constant active flow of air even when the bodt is in storage stops mildew. Well it did for me. Google solar boat ventilator. They are quiet, effective, easy to install, sucking out up to 20 cubic meters of air and also run at night from the inbuilt battery that charges again during the day.

I did keep my air conditioner blower constantly taking air out of the cabin but little by little bit it catches up

It doesn’t take too long before mildew and mold take over boat cabins in Florida . I’ve seen boats less than a year old that you couldn’t stand to be in the cabin because of the smell . It will be interesting to see what product you use inside . Like someone else suggested. I think you’ll have to use something to deaden the sound . But what ? There most be a material that’s resistant to mold and mildew??? And like someone else brought up how is the adhesive going to react to whatever you put on ? Something to think about maybe ?

[@OutOnTheReef]

All great suggestions and questions Philip, I'm going to apply six coats of Marine Paint that is chemical resistance so I can clean it easily inside with anything the removes engine that grows on it. As far as the sun goes I don't think it's going to be a big problem

[@phillipternullo4934]

Out On The Reef sir you may revolutionize the way they build boat cabins in the Tropics because of the high humidity. I think you’re onto something Captain . Just a thought to consider . Do a two tone paint scheme to break things up . Possibly paint the ceiling a darker shade , like the color of the cushions . Also some trim pieces to break things up a bit . I’m sure whatever you decide will turn out better then before . Good Luck Captain . Can’t wait to see the finished product in one of you’re video’s.

I think this ai good idea, however I disagree on reason they use carpet. The main reason is to reduce noise in the cabin from running the boat on the water. If they wanted to just cover up imperfections then they would'n't have put the sound mat under the carpet and also because its faster and cheaper than gel coat to keep the overall cost down. You forgot to mention that removing all that carpet and mat removed some weight. How much weight did all that carpet and mat weigh?

Cap, sometimes I wonder if you are mi hermano de otra madre. We both seem to have the same OCD when it comes to our boats. But you have gone too far. This seems job seems insurmountable. I wish you much luck and patience. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

[@OutOnTheReef]

LOL my brother Paul and yes we both have OCD but that's a good thing because our boats need to be immaculate and soon next week by the middle of next week I'll have the results for you I'm working hard on it

[@juanmoas]

Did you ever use a de-humidifer when keeping it on the trailer ?

[@OutOnTheReef]

no but i have the blower always taking air out of the cabin and it doesn't feel humid inside

[@nicksreviewsmiami]

Add a small dehumidifier

[@mrhotdog1968]

I keep a bucket of Damp-Rid in the center console where the head is. It keeps mold from growing. You can get it at Home Depot. I switch it out every two months. People have been using Damp-Rid in their cabins for years. Even after you finish the remodel, you still might consider keeping one maybe two buckets in the cabin because mold grows even in places you can't see.

[@OutOnTheReef]

That's a great idea! thanks Cap. that will help

[@frankpellegrino7448]

I’ve owned many Parker’s over the years. The older ones didn’t have carpeting, only paint. The finish was pretty rough and every fastener was exposed. You are going retro.

[@OutOnTheReef]

That is awesome Frank and yes that's what I'm looking for to achieve

[@frankpellegrino7448]

Out On The Reef it’s all in the prep work, my friend. Sand and fill as best you can. I own the same boat as you and enjoy your channel. I have learned many good things.

Rain and No Coffee while Repair? No Fun capt..Lol..that time we used the Sound and heat proof paint first as isolate..then put the new one khaki colour material as in cat use..easier to clean..

[@OutOnTheReef]

Sounds great! idea cap, but the Coffee sounds better, is 11;00pm here , i can drink any coffee till tomorrow morning, have a great night cap, and next week you will see the results😁👍

Time for a 25ft Parker boss

[@OutOnTheReef]

LOL you're right but with a problem of this crooked Pilot House I don't think I could ever get a 25 foot due to the argument with the manufacturer of my crooked pilothouse lol is all good i will make this 21 feet feel like a yacht 😁👍👍

[@mattclark1278]

Our 'monkey fur' was straight-up disintegrating (2003) so it also had to go. unfortunately it didn't pull out so easily...

[@OutOnTheReef]

I'm sure they have to be very difficult because you're at your carpet install for a long time mine was nearly new so was issued to take off

Better to take the carpet out, I'd paint the interior fiberglass mildew resistant marine white.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes that is a better choice cap.👍⚓

[@gsftom]

Good work. Carpet doesn’t belong on a boat.

[@OutOnTheReef]

I agree carpet should stay at home vote should have gel coat or paint especially there are in the water environment

I have to check it out I never heard of it and thanks for the great recommendation captain

[@40hills1]

I'm surprised to see so much wood used on Parker boats, including as the hull core. Not good.

[@OutOnTheReef]

agree wood is not good for boats 😢

[@40hills1]

@@OutOnTheReef Just make sure all the deck and cabin top hardware is securely bedded with sealant.

Can someone tell me why it is a Crooked PilotHouse?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Check out one of my video that is called why I call my boat a crooked Potter house and you'll find out you got to be shocked

[@GAZYK]

I never could understand why Parker still carpet they boats. It was easy decision for me between Parker or Stiger craft. I chose Stieger Craft no carpet and no step down in to a cabin.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Yes that is a great benefit from Stieger , I guess to reduce the car the carpet is the best way to go it also reduces labor at the end is all about how much money can they save and make money for their company

[@orlandodelrio63]

Your a/c unit is causing that

[@OutOnTheReef]

don't think so cap, it happens wen im not using the boat and ac is not running so there is no way the ac is causing that, im a refrigeration mechanic that i know cap
