carpet replacement

[jonnb]

I have a 1989 21 foot planning on replacing the carpet and maybe the floor, how is the carpet fasten? does it come out easy? looking for suggestions, thanks

Its glued down . If the floor is rotten and the foam under it is wet you probably have rot in the stringers . Make sure you inspect everything carefully so your not covering other problems.

[jonnb]

ok, how do you remove the carpet? how is the floor fastened to the boat?

[Henner]

Jonnb, more than likely your carpet is glued down, if you plan on replacing the carpet just start ripping it out and throwing it in the can. But i have a good feeling your going to get into what i have just started. I had one soft spot so figured i would replace the soft spot and new carpet. Well, i pulled the carpet up and the whole floor looked like poo so i pulled the floor up and my foam is saturated and all of my cross stringers are pretty much gone. So now i am digging out foam and replacing stringers. This may not be your case buy if i were a betting man and you have the original 89 floor in there it's going to be the same.

thanks for the info, sounds like a winter project

[jonnb]

are the floor boards nailed, glued, or screwed down?

Depending on who was in there last, it's anyone's guess. Henner is right though, sounds like you're in for a complete rebuild. I suggest that you search this forum for stringer repairs and spend a few hours doing some reading. There's lots of information here that will likely answer all of your questions.

Staying on point with the carpet question, I'm going to redo my carpet this winter as well. It's just dingy and dirty from the PO and no amount of scrubbing has brought it to the level I prefer. So I'm going to rip it out, put in nice plushy new gray carpet back in.

Question: Where can I find those strips that cover the carpet that runs up the console and center walk through area? You know, those little black strips that go about shin high and cover where the carpet ends? It's only right there on the front and at the helm. Any idea what that's called or where to get it?

Also, what glue has everyone been using to fasten down their carpets?

viper might know??--just a thought!

Does anyone have a suggestion for the replacement carpet? Website, manufacturer, local store, etc.? I'll also be replacing the carpet in my '92 comp this winter.

Haugy, I'm still looking deciding on what glue/adhesive. This is what i'm thinking of using as of now

I got my glue and carpet from perfect fit.

Next time I will get Corinthian carpet. Not that I'm unhappy but why not use the best since you're going to all the trouble/labor of doing it.
I also started out spraying the glue but ended up just using a roller to prevent overspray. Also 3m adhesive remover (you know the stuff right?) works great to safely remove the glue from any carpet, upholstery, or fiberglass that may need to be cleaned up.

Got a pic of the trim Haugy?

A great source for carpet - http://inglescarpetinc.com

I would not use that spray adhesive. I used some indoor/outdoor glue that is about the consistency of mayonnaise. I bought it from Ingles Carpet since I'm local, but you can get it at most home improvement stores.

Back to the top.

I'm looking at the carpet from Corinthian Marine. I hope to get some samples in soon. I'm going with a heavy 40oz thick plushy carpet. I'm debating on color for two reasons. The overall look, and how dark it truly is. I've been in boats with gray carpet and it burned the hell out of your feet. What do you guys think?

As for glue I'm just going to take some of the recommendations here and see what I can find, and if I get the Corinthian, I'm sure they'll have some input on the adhesive. I start taking apart the seats this weekend to see how it all looks.

Here are the two I'm looking at:

The trim piece I was referring to is right there at the middle pass through. You can see the black trim piece in between the helm station and the spotters seat (old pic before things were fixed).

This stuff?
Got mine from viper but think any of the marine supply companies in Tennessee could get it if you ask.

Yeah, that's pretty much it. I knew I should have just gone to the PBB. :D

I've tried Viper time and again, and the one time I got in touch with him he gave me "i've got better shit to do" attitude. I don't call back anymore.

[beat taco]

Yeah, I should say it was never installed because the product he sent me albeit an exact match had the adhesive backing melted off of it and it was a huge sticky mess. I figured it must have been sitting around for a very long time. I'm pretty sure I threw it out.

I am planning on replacing the carpet in my boat and I am looking for something to replace the trim shown in the previous post. I have done a number of searches and cannot find anything. If anyone has any suggestions on where to find something similar I would appreciate it.
