Average cost to re-carpet a 20’ boat?

[Bass in the grass]

If you’ve had it done recently, what did it run you? I’m sure there are variables like quality of carpet, etc. but I’m just looking for an about $$$.

$1700-2000 using basscat carpet and padding--paid to have it done does bunks also if needed with same carpet

good info, who does this kind work?

I’ve had upholstery places do it and the last time I had someone do it, it was a carpet place. The owner just happened to be big into boats and fishing and did boats on the side. A lot of places don’t want to touch boats, so you just have to call and ask around locally.

This is pretty accurate, my brother used to recarpet boats. But if it an aluminum rig, probably double that

[kacordy]

I bet you can save yourself a ton of money if you removed all the carpet and had it ready to go for the installer. I would estimate 80% 0f the labor cost is removing all the carpet

Worn ripped carpet looks a hell of a lot better when you think of the $2000-3000 it would take to have it fixed.

Why would aluminum be double?

Don't they need the old pieces to help cut to size the new sections?

Carpet , padding, and glue. Around $500. Just bought 25 foot yesterday for a boat I’m redoing

Aluminum rigs usually have carpet up the sides and console etc.

I would wager it is because many of the aluminum boats use a lot more carpet than the average fiberglass boat. Much of the interior panels and rim is carpet as opposed to being fiberglass.

Thanks.

Yes most aluminum rigs have carpet up the sides, also they just have a lot of small parts that have to be removed and carpeted. A lot more of a headache for sure. And from what I’ve seen, they carpet the boat and then install everything in it on top so the whole console has to be removed as well.

Wonder the price difference in sea deck?

At least when I redid my old Champion, the old carpet was destroyed when removing it, and would have been totally useless as any kind of template.

Where are you located in Texas? Dallas area has 2 places that do a lot of carpet at very fair prices

I haven't used this guy but he has a good reputation in East Texas and NW Louisiana.
