i would put snap carpeting in it. all you do is pop it out, put some cleaner on it, and spray it down. i cant help you with the bubbling cuz i have a glass boat but im sure someone will chime in with some tips…
hope you figure something out.

June 20, 2009 at 12:03 pm #785392If you want to get completely away from carpet I’ve seen some older boats that have had the carpet pulled and replaced with spray on truck bedliner material like Rhino Liner. To be honest it actually looks pretty decent and nothing is more durable or easier to clean.
As for the bubbling paint, is it located in any specific areas adjacent to boat cover snaps, etc., or is it widespread?

How big are they? Are they near snaps or rivets?
If you scrape the paint off is there a chalky powder under the paint?
Or are they very small and near the front? If this is the case they are just stone chips.
Aluminum boats are coated with one coat of etch primer, then paint. Any auto body shop can repair and repaint.
There are a couple of different processes depending how much you want to spend and how long you want it to last.
If you want more info ask.June 22, 2009 at 12:08 pm #785595I have vinyl in the back and carpet up front. Love the vinyl for easy cleaning!
