Cockpit or Cabin?
I replaced the cabin carpet myself. I bought a good quality indoor/outdoor carpet.
I carefully removed the old carpet and used it as a template. I cut it and glued it back in. It was pretty easy with the exception of removing the stairs.
The only problem I had was after I was done, I found my carpet was wet. I traced this to a hole in the hull!!
When I removed the carpet from under the table, the top edge was screwed to the hull in several places. It looked like the screw holes were pre-drilled and one was through the hull. It was patched with gel-coat and when I removed the screw it popped the patch.
Luckily it was about 2" above the water line. A little thickend expoxy fixed the problem.
