Looking for help on supplies for recarpeting ProCraft 210

[SuperPro210Phil]

Hey guys, I am looking for some help on what supplies I should use and buy for my planned carpet job which I will be doing soon to my ProCraft. As of right now I have ordered Bass Cat 24 oz carpet. I would like to installed padding under the carpet. What supplier is offering the right padding I need and what thickness should I go with. I did a little research and saw that a different kind of carpet glue is required to set the padding down on the deck prior to the carpet. Many thanks for your help. Phil

If you could get the birdsong adhesive, that would be your best bet for the padding to deck. Otherwise, many have just used contact cement and it has worked well, but make sure to give it plenty of "gas off" time before laying the pad. I believe pro-tech makes the padding. Other than that, you'll need a utility knife will lots of blades, some sort of solvent for the old glue (I used goof off), an angle grinder with a wire brush and a flapper wheel will make removing the old residue a lot less "physical", and some acetone and a shop vac to clean it all up nice just before laying the carpet.

Get a roll of rosin paper as well. You can use that as a template. Roll of it at my local hardware store was 8 dollars

Not sure if you checked this or not , but make sure the 24oz carpet will let you close your deck lids freely

That's for the information. What thickness padding is everyone normally using?

I don't believe you'll want to go more than 1/8".

Re-carpeted my 96 Ranger 487VS with padded front deck. Used Pro-Tech 3/8” virgin…I can stand all day on front end now. Rich at Boatworxva got me the carpet, padding, and birdsong adhesive (in quarts-Huge Win). This was my first time and Rich gave me his cell. He gave me several tremendous tips that saved me a lot of headache, especially when it came to installing the padding and cutting it at an angle. My boat looks amazing for a 30 year old boat!
