I plan to replace the carpeting (now red..........yuk) throughout the
cockpit. I will be removing the existing carpeting come Spring (it looks
like it is glued down) and replacing it with a neutral color moderate~high
grade marine carpeting.

Questions:

1. How difficult is it to install the carpeting in the cockpit? I will have
to work around some fixed seating.
2. Can you recommend any particular manufacturer or supplier on the net for
the carpeting? More specifically, can you recommend any make from the
manufacturer that will meet my needs?)

Thanks.

What's under the carpet?

If there are plywood floorboards you ought to consider going with a
non-skid instead. If there is non-skid FRP, why cover it up with
carpet?

60's retro seems to be the rage right now, so 70's retro can't be far
behind.
If you do recarpet, why not be ahead of the curve and go with a nice
orange and green shag?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I would guess (but not sure) that the deck
is non skid. I will not know for sure till Spring when I pull up the
carpeting.

If the glue did not discolor or disfigure the non skid I might just keep it
that way. Otherwise carpeting goes back down.

I would guess (again assuming the deck is non skid) that all I would have to
worry about is sealing the screw holes from the seat/ice box I took out.

Black carpeting? No way. Orange shag.....yeah baby!
