Fellas,
Hey i've seen some comments on here while looking for options on some carpet for my boat and have seen home depot and lowes mentioned. After checking the local marine shops and there inflated pricing I decided to check the big guys out, lowes was bit of a dissapointment both stores dont have much of a selection as most would guess but lowes would not even offer different colors as a s/o option. Home depot is not much on in house selection either but they do have marine grade carpet available for order in there online format and had I think about 7 different colors to choose from. The best thing about it was the price, their carpet only runs $5.95 a LF! I bought a 6 x 20 roll of carpet for $119.00 bucks everywhere else was gonna be a minimum $250 for the same size remnant!
Now I am not comparing the quality at this point only the price seeing as i have not installed or used the product yet but will keep you guys posted. Just thought i would pass this along in case someone else needs to save a buck in the off season on a recarpet.
(note) the carpet is only available online @ homedepot.com
see ya,
mike

When marine carpet comes in 6 ft rolls it is normally bunk carpet. Marine carpet is normally 8 ft wide and comes in 20oz and 40oz. What is the weight of the carpet you got from home depot. Just curious. BTW bunk carpet is made so you dont have to glue it down and marine carpet will disinagrate quickly if it not glued down. Matt

Theres a TON of hispanic dudes who do upholstery/interior in my town who work out of their garage. I've had a ton of vehicles/boats done by a particular guy who's out by my work. I had a 1970 blazer completely redone which included all new foam, black upholstery, boxed sides in rear, dash pad, door panels, sound deadener and all marine grade carpet for $650 out the door! The guy does a great job and he is seriously dirt cheap! My dad just got his ocean-cruiser completely redone in all marine grade material for $450...It was ALOT of material! Here's a decent pic of my blazer after interior...

Also....that was the first vehicle I ever did paint and body on. ;D

Ya! you know what it is holding up terrific and the carpet feels really plush, Matter of fact I decided to cover the new engine cover with it untill I build the new seats and get it reupholstered and its working out great there too, Anyone who is interested I say go for it!

Since the demise of one of our Old wholsale Marine suppliers we have hooked up some really good deals with some of those who survived the recent "Economic cut" One in particular has a enormous selection and inventory and amoungst that is Marine Carpet We just ordered enough to do a boat were currently restoring and were pleasantly surpried with the quality price and selection Will post up some pics later this week Tom
