    Use liquid nails(get from any home depot or lowes) on the edges of the lids. Hold the carpet in place with clamps while the glue dries. I have a Ranger also & I drilled out the rivets. Drill the rivets with slightly smaller drill bits, so you do not mess up the hole. Then when you are ready...

    1982 Ranger 350v Bass Boat

    :icon_welcome: to BBM. I would think it would work. I have an 83 Ranger with a 91 Mercury 175. I bought it with this config, so I'm not sure if anything was changed out. It looks original. My boat has a hot foot.

    A Jack Daniel's Fishing Story

    Bass Boat, Dual Console

    Single is what I like. More room. I have a buddy with a 21' boat with dual consoles. The console is too low, I can barely get my legs under it. It seems to be made for short people. And the console takes away usable area for tackle bags.

    Motorguide/Battery question

    You may have one battery going bad. I would take the battery to an autoparts store & have them test it. They will do this for free. A bad battery can cause this problem. I would start there.

    Never get between a man and his fish

    You should have asked for ransom money to return the fish to the lake. Hold a knife to its throat & threaten that they won't see him again if the ransom isn't paid. :D

    Finally took the test

    Congrats! I would think a 97 would be in the top 10%. And then think of the slackers that didn't crack the books thinking they could breeze through it. I would think your chances are good for first rounds.

    What's up with the HP ratings on boats?

    You could always slap a 175 on it & put 150 stickers on it. That is how my boat came. The original owner( A pro bass fisherman) added a 175, traded in the 150. Kept the 150 cover. I was told it was done, because back in the day tournaments would only allow a 150HP max. I have the original...
