Any secrets or tips for a first timer carpeting his boat?
-
Get a quality spray adhesive (I like 3M high strength 90) and a gallon of Weldwood contact cement.
Wear clothes you really don't care about. Take your time and dry fit everything. I have even made cardboard patterns on difficult parts.
Take your time and good luck.

Thank you

I agree with what gt said, I used loctite 300 seems to be working pretty good. I dry fit every part and trimmed in place and then glued it down. It's time consuming but take your time and do it right the first time. It took me 3 cans to do my boat and it wasn't that much carpet.

If you can, I would take the time to pull the seats. Probably save you a lot of grief.

Marine out door carpet trowel glue from home d... I'd gel coat colors not paint. They can match almost any color.

Where's a good source to get carpet? I have all the seats out and new motor is still being built like to just replace it now. Also is it a good idea to sand down the wood and seal it where the false floor is?

I just did my carpet and I got carpet at the good ol Home Depot. Indoor outdoor carpet and a bucket of the indoor outdoor glue they got.
