New Carpet install in Chris Craft 28 cabin

[kylejb2663]

Hey Guys,

When I purchased the boat, I knew that the carpet needed to be replaced. Unfortunately, the previous owners never had a dehumidifier in the cabin or anything of that sort so the carpet does smell musty from having it closed up all the time.

Does anyone have any type of recommendations on carpeting or a type of flooring to use? I still need to be able to get to some access holes that are cut out so I am not sure how I would work that with the carpeting if I were to glue it down... Any recommendations? Also, I don't want to spend tons of money but if it lasts a long time I don't mind spending a decent amount. 28 feet and 10.2 ft. wide- a lot of places don't have carpet like shower, etc..

Thanks guys in advance!

For the record, I love how this looks but I think it may cost too much to do..... I don't even know what type of floor it is.....!!!!

Wow that's absolutely beautiful... A bit to expensive though I imagine.. I just want it to look nice and last for a while but not spend a fortune!

Although I don't think it's typically used inside a cabin, I can't see why you couldn't and it would be durable as heck. Marine vinyl. I love my vinyl deck http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w200/ezmobee/New Boat/DSCF2504.jpg
