Carpet

[Cusefan78]

Where is everyone getting their carpet from. 40lbs or 20lbs? I was thinking 40lbs cause I feel this is a one time deal and why not get the better rug. How much extra would I need to wrap the base of the dog house? Adhesive looks like spray on 3m, right?

I got mine from ebay, did 20oz carpet 8'x15', the glue I got from Home depot it is Roberts for indoor/outdoor carpet. Needed 1 gallon and 1 pint. here are a couple links

I also used the HD indoor/outdoor carpet glue. Works great.

Is the 20 oz soft and stay plush. I don't want to do this and have a flat carpet in a few years.

It is very soft! I am hoping it will stay soft, I can't imagine using 40oz carpet though that would be sooo thick!

How long has yours been down?

[cjtpilot]

I just replaced it a couple weeks ago

[Cusefan78]

Oh okay I was trying to gauge if it's staying plush. Was hoping you did it a few years ago

I used this carpet when I redid mine this winter. So far so good. Hoping it stays nice and soft for a few years.

15714 so I'm trying to decide between these two colors. I hate the teal rug in there now. I'm leaning towards the charcoal (left) by I like the sterling Also. What do you guys think

im going with 40 oz but i ripped my old carpet out and painted the deck , just got to take the carpet to get the edges binding done , and it has the nu wav backing that allows no slip / water to flow under it .. paid 220.00 for 12x6 fossil grey ...

i may sleep in my boat this summer lol .. ill get pics when its done

might not be a big deal in NY but the darker color will get hotter. well, actually they'll both get hot but the darker color will stay hot longer. i went with a similar color to sterling, had dark blue from the factory. i find the light grey gets hot but kinda like aluminum foil it cools down quicker than the dark blue did.

[Cusefan78]

Yeah the heat thing is what I'm hung up on. I think the charcoal will look great but when I step on it on a 90 degree day it's going to suck

Im looking for carpet for a custom piece I`m making to cover trunk gas tank and floor over drive shaft on my comp when I leave back seat out for skiing. I looked in my 1996 brochure and all boats except sts came with 40 oz carpet15807

[Cusefan78]

That's good to know. I ordered a 40 oz premium in a light grey color. Haven't installed it yet

Somebody must be getting serious about skiing behind their boat...

[Cusefan78]

Fox, what color did you go with? I really wanted to do charcoal but everyone talked me out of it.

Yes I am. Need more room back there when Im skiing. Hardly ever use the back seat anyway. Going to get a straightline 150 big bag to put on passenger side to even boat out. Ben I always tell you I want to get a different boat with a smaller wake. But this boat has been so trouble free I cant let it go. I hooked up the hose to it monday. Turned the key and the engine felt like it didnt get a chance to turn over once before that gt40 started and was purring at me.

Im just getting some teal to match what I have. Replacing the whole thing and changing color is a project for another day. And when I do it will be some sort of lighter grey
