    New carpet in boat?

    Anyone ever put new carpet in their boat? Where do you go to get it done and how expensive is it for a 19 ft boat? Thanks.

    I've done a couple boats myself, had about $500 in carpet, glue etc. To have it done you'll get quotes from $1000-2000. Plenty of guys do it but you need to check out some of their work to see how well the corners are done.

    Did mine myself. Not technically hard just tedious.

    I removed all old carpet and compartment lids. Sanded old glue. Bought carpet and glue online. Found a local carpet installer that I went to school with. Paid him a case of beer and $300. It was his first boat but he did a very job.

    Hardest part for me was taking the old carpet off. I really need new carpet in my old Stratos, it's down to bare in many front deck places. I think I'll spill some hydraulic steering fluid on it and see if the old carpet comes off.

    I had new carpet, seats re-covered (both bucket seats and 2 butt seats) and a cover that rachets from the side (so I can tighten the cover on my dock) and paid a little over $2,000 for all of it. This was a little over two years ago and the work was completed in the middle of winter.
