Thread: carpet replacement

Those are "rape" prices...................Holy Cow.

I have man in Ruskin that will probably do it for around 7 - 800.00
Big O, manufacturer of the Big O, recarpeted my Big O (21.5 ft long, 16 hatches )for
$1400.00, using their top grade carpet.
With a good grade marine carpet ( call couple of the manufactures for
suggestions on what weight, cut they recommend)
Pricing should be below $200.00
Go to Home Depot or Lowe's - get a good grade of Lamenet cement (used on
kitchen counter tops) Rivets, reivet gun - 3 or 4 various size putty knives.
Couple gallons - mineral spirits - 2 gallons acitone, your in business. At least 3
packages, razor blades
take every item off boat that might remotely come in contact with carpeting.
Start you stripping of boat from front to rear...........TAKE YOU TIME...
make sure each and every spot of carpeted part is taken cleaned, scraped,
washed down. Most of time what ever color boat is on outside - top and inside of
glass boat will be same.(MARK CARPET SO AS YOU RUN THE "CARPET RUN" IN
SAME DIRECTION FROM FRONT TO BACK INCLUDING HATCH COVERS.
I would start with hatch covers first - just get one done at a time - do not
reinstall until done with complete secion of boat.
