    Anybody know where someone can get there hands on this. I called around to a few places and nobody seems to carry it.

    Home Depot, Lowes and Menards say 2 weeks to order.

    i know that if you go to Menard’s they can order it for you. Or at least the one in Winona can so i don’t see why any other one couldn’t.

    That’s what I was thinking but hey it ain’t my money….

    There are other less expensive alternatives that will work!

    Thanks Pier!! Sorry the link did not work for me. But the info works great. Damn wood is getting soft in certain areas. So I am going to redo the whole thing.

    Ply is the last pieces. I am thinking it is going to take 3 possibly 4 sheets to do the whole thing.

    Boats only a 2000. None of the compartments breathe so it just molds up and rots out. Doesn’t help when you have a cover on most of the time.

    I guess that’s just apart of owning a boat. It will be nice having all new carpet to slime up.

    Remember you still have seal the wood. I used Spar Varnish and about 3 coats if memory serves me right.

    Does the carpet glue eat the varnish?

    I’m not sure on that but I don’t think so.

    Another option to consider right now instead of carpet is vinyl.

    Marine vinyl is easy to clean you just scrub it with a brush and hose it off. Its scuff-resistant, doesn’t stain or mildew and it has great traction. It’s a great alternative to carpet for the maintenance free fisherman.

    I can’t think of anyone who has switched from Carpet to Vinyl that is not extremely Happy.

    My current plan is to carpet the upper floor and vinyl the lower floor
