    Hydra sport carpet finish question

    I have recently re-carpeted my vs 150 t. On the decks, the carpet is just glued down on the edges. No trim or anything has ever been there. My question is how do you keep those areas from fraying or anything like that? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Carpet if good quality marine carpet 20oz wont fray.. I used automotive smooth black side trim with 3m glue backing to put around mine, that I picked up at pep boys not because of fray but looks more finished.. I have a VS150 here is pics of my front deck.. I also did more than just carpet .. new floor transom stringers, paint, gauges, seats etc

    I love the smell of two strokes, and polyester resin

    That looks nice. I"m thinking about recarpeting my HS, too, and want a finished look on the edges. How well is the 3M backing holding up? How long ago did you install it?

    Thanks

    So far its as good as the day I installed it that was back in Sept.. Ranger now uses similar stuff in theirs .. but Ive seen them at the show room that was peeling off .. I added some extra clear construction adhesive at the bends and at the tag ends just to be safe .. but as cheap as it was if it does come off I spend the cash to buy more it was 20 bucks at Pep Boys
