Default Boat Carpet

We are on Lake Lanier too, but with a sailboat. I would suggest you go to a
carpet store (and you KNOW there are plenty of them around here!) and ask.
I am sure you will find an indoor/outdoor carpet or industrial grade carpet
that will look good, feel good and hold up.
We just recarpeted our back porch with indoor/outdoor carpet. It gets rain,
pollen, cat puke and lots of sun.
Pura Vida,

Hi Ian,

I would make sure and use a carpet that was rated for outdoor use. Other
than that, it doesn't have to be marine carpet, but it will get a lot of
sun and water, so buy accordingly.

Also, I'll bet that you can find marine carpet on the www nearly as
cheaply as you can find any other type of carpet.

YMMV

All,
I am replacing the interior carpet in my 1986 SeaRay 340. Can I use
regular carpet in there, or should I use some form of 'marine' carpet.

Also, does anyone know where to get the carpet that SeaRay now uses in
the cockpit area of their new cruisers? I am looking to make a carpet for
that area too.

Any / all ideas welcome.

Thanks
Ian
