    Marine carpet

    Where can I find good quality marine carpet, has anyone had a good experience with a certain kind/supplier? Can one buy Correct Craft carpet from CC? thanks

    Yes, you can buy CC carpet through a dealer- at least the most recent years.

    If youre willing to go non-OEM, M3Fan has suggested http://www.bassboatcarpets.com/. Their website is awful, but they look like they have a good product and a good selection. They are nice enough to send samples as well.

      I installed new Aqua-Turf carpet in my 76 Nautique a couple years ago. I bought my carpet at http://store.yahoo.com/yourautotrim-store/index.html. They were about 50% cheaper than all of the upholstery shops I checked for the same carpet. In fact, I used one of the sample charts from a local shop to determine the exact Aqua-Turf carpet model number / color.

          I think it's worn well after three years. I don't allow shoes in the boat and am a bit of hard case about wiping your feet, etc. So, it doesn't see a lot of abuse. With that being said, I'd probably install it again. It appeared to be the most popular carpet amoung the shops that I checked with.

            By the way, I contacted Aqua-Turf about the carpet. It is 29 oz carpet. I suppose 40 oz would be better. Any thoughts?

              RCHANDED, have you checked out Federal, behind Inland Watersports? They just re-did all of my uncle's 2001's interior, and apparently did a great job... I don't know how expensive though. He got a new blue carpet which I will see tomorrow. If you have some free time, maybe you should go check them out. They make great covers--I know that!

                A good quality 29 oz carpet will be plenty thick and soft. CC only started using 40oz in 2003. Before that, they used 28oz. My 90 had 20oz, I believe.

                I'm replacing my original charcol carpet with CC 28oz (gunmetal), FWIW.
