Practice on couple of hatches - carpet top on - folding over carpet and
cutting in the corners.......
Put contact cement on both the boat part - carpet part - allow yourself
extra cartpet - razor blades will cut in carpet for looks and finish.
Go watch several U tube video's - alway has good information...
Each of three (3) sections boat carpet was layed with NO CUTS, or multi little
pieces around the hatch.
Good luck - take your time - the reward of doing it yourself will be greatly appreciated by you and envey of others.
I would have done the Big O, but had health issues that stopped my thinking short.

1800 bucks....................holy cow...................... Im sticking with the stance that my dirty carpets add character to my boat. :)
I guess you could say they match the character of the no good, lazy sob that owns the boat? :scratchhead

On the one boat I did it was way more of a job than I expected. All or most of the old glue stayed on the boat surface. The instructions said to remove this. It took a grinder and many hours of some of the worse dust you can imagine. A mask that will filter fiberglass is a must. I did save money and the job was good but that is why it is so expensive to have it done.

Products we used - just poured on area's - let it set several hrs - than scrape off,
never went near sanders.

Thank you for the great information fishin 813, I don't think it will be all that bad, just time consuming. Most of the carpet is on wood and already so dried out it is coming apart.

Not only will you save "big bucks" , but will have the feeling of accomplishment.
It was something you had not done before - it looks great - its was yours.
(Make sure all runs same way - front to back)
