Just make sure when you make the template to cut the new piece you note which side is up. Otherwise it is possible to finish up with a mirror image of what you need (shape wise) and it won't fit. Mark Tamblyn

I brought the old carpet home for the winter, thinking I would take it to a regular carpet shop and ask them to cut a piece and install the snaps, using the old carpet as a template. I had previously checked with CatalinaOwners.Com, and they don't carry carpet. Has anyone done this? Are there special specs for boat carpet? Is it likely the snaps will be in the right place when I go to install it? Would I be better off to buy the carpet as a rectangle, lay it on the floor, then cut it and install the snaps in place? Any ideas would be appreciated. Ted G Rayo de Luna Jefferson Beach Marina St. Clair Shores, MI
