I'm looking for someone to re-carpet my boat, an 18' Bumble Bee 278. Anyone interested or knows someone (experienced) who can do it, please PM me. I live in Southaven, Ms, but I will travel to someone reputable.

I'll give them a call!
Thanks
Would like to know what it would cost to have that done.
Had mine done last year by a moon lighting carpet layer from a major carpet firm. He did an excellent job. Literally 95% as good as factory. My point: Get somebody that know their stuff. Not some one who "thinks" they can do it good, jus cause it's cheaper.
Just curious ... don't take this the wrong way . But I've always wondered why anyone would want carpet on a crappie boat ? Or any other fishing boat for that matter. There just seems to be so many better options for fishing than carpet. Again ... just trying to learn.
I agree with you....i have a light colored multi-speck non slip coating on the floor of my aluminum boat...easy to wash out....stays cool in summerQuote:

I like to kick my shoes off when the temp is warm enough! Especially with the t/m I have right now. Can’t adjust speed with shoes on and don’t like bending over. And carpet seems to stay a little cooler in summer and warmer on cool days. I don’t seem to make much of a mess of it. Just make sure you don’t drop a minner right under your feet and grind it in!Quote:

Mostly cosmetic, but some of it is comfort too. The storage hatches were built to have carpet on them. It would tear up the hinges to not have the carpet.Quote:

Ok. I love my rhino liner . Just did a 18/60 aluminum inside and out . Im the most comfortable when I'm catching a bunch of fish. I'm not a barefoot guy so I guess I can't relate to that .
What did that cost, if you don't mind me asking?Quote:

sent you a pm FurFlyin. Didn't mean to get off topic. By the way Slablife. I don't know anyone that could carpet your boat correctly. I have payed people to mess up a lot of my stuff, so now I do it myself or it don't get done. Good luck though.Quote:

ive been wanting to install hydro turf to dampen noise but I'm afraid it won't clean up well. We wade a lot in the spring and muddy boots are getting in and out of the boatQuote:

If it gets soaking wet, not so slick.
I considered the padded flooring like Excel and other sources offer but am afraid it would get destroyed by the traffic my boat gets.
Jeremy, I hunt out of my fishin boat also. . It has had plenty of mud and duck blood in it. I just hose it out after hunting season. No issues. I highly recommend it.Quote:

Yea that's what I hear. But if I get it I'm gonna go with white or grey. The white may stain. I have no idea. I do know it will dampen the noise and vibrations.
Not sure bout the white, but I bet the gray would do just fine. I did mine in their camo pattern. I wished I had done it in gray. If you get it Jeremy, use nothing but weld wood contact cement to attach it.Quote:
