Adding Snap in Carpet

Ok, guys, I am running out of things to do on this boat. I am sad that it is really coming to and end, but is ain't over yet!!!!!

I got the carpet in .... Whooooohooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a very long process. I had to order the template, cut out the template, and send it away and wait for a price. It was WAAAAAAAAYYYYY more expensive than I ever thought it would be (little over 800 shipped), but it was well worth it. It looks and fits perfectly, and I do not even have to use anything to hold it down. It is so heavy It just lays perfect.

Here is the story.

My Dad and I cutting the template. Just take your time with this, and it will lay out.

We left about an inch on the perimeter for water shedding. That will allow the water to find the bilge.

You need to cut relief slits so that they can bind the carpet, and allow you to lay it around the seat.

This is what I chose. It is Silver and Grey berber. We looked at some blue colors, but they just did not fit. And of course this choice was the most expensive.

I chose the Sunbrella Edging

This is the Auquamat backing that adds all the weight.

The carpet looks so nice in the boat.
