I've got to replace the carpet in the boat I just bought. Problem is, I don't know what to replace it with.

I can get a tintable, 2 part bedliner that should be fairly good quality and that would be the easiest fix but I'm afraid it would flake off after time.

Vinyl would be easy to keep up, but I have no experience with it in a boat.

Carpet is comfy on the feet and looks good when it's clean, but who keeps clean carpet in a boat? I know it's the traditional boat interior....

All advice appreciated...
