    Fuel tank cover

    I have a 2002 21v riders edition and noticed my carpet was falling off of the fuel tank cover. I removed it from the boat and brought it inside. I pulled all of the carpet off only to find that it is begging to rot around the edges, the bottom has a skim coat of fiberglass, but the top is raw plywood, would this be covered under warranty??? It is part of the hull?? Isn't it? If not I don't wan't to rebuild it out of wood, any suggestions?

    It's not covered by warranty and it's not part of the hull. It should be marine grade plywood. You could try using Penske material. Not sure where you'd find a sheet that big. Mine's still in good shape after all these years and we've used it a lot. My carpet's about worn out.

      I had rotting happening around my drivers seat. You might walk around the flooring and see if there are any other soft spots.

        Local tige dealer was useless

        local tige dealer won't even answer the phone, so I have come up with this, will post pic's when complete. I am going to make a new cover out of aluminum, a plate on top and some u channel supports for rigidity, then I'll contact cement the carpet back on, WOOD SUCKS.
