Premium Boat Carpet Installation

Noticeably less than the manufacturer rating, because those ratings are not written for this climate. Constant UV, deck temperatures well past 115 degrees, and repeated wet-dry cycling attack the backing and the adhesive rather than the fiber. Most Arizona boats show edge lift and fading years before the carpet is physically worn out.

Either. Plenty of boats only need the bow deck redone, because that is where people stand, kneel, and drop tackle all day while the rear deck stays comparatively protected. We will tell you honestly if a partial job is going to look mismatched next to the older carpet.

A closed-cell foam underlayment between the deck and the carpet. It takes the sting out of standing on fiberglass for eight hours and quiets the hull noise that spooks fish in shallow water. It is an option rather than a default, and it adds to the cost — worth it if you fish long days on your feet.

Seats, pedestals, and deck hardware come off so the carpet can go underneath them the way it did from the factory. Carpet cut around fixed hardware is the most common shortcut in this trade, and it always shows at the edges within a season.

You get told, with photos, before any new carpet goes down. Laying fresh carpet over a soft deck hides a structural problem and wastes the job, because the deck has to come apart again to fix it properly.

Marine carpet comes in a range of grays, charcoals, tans, and blues across several pile weights. Bring the boat by or send photos, and you can see samples against your existing gel coat before committing to anything.
