I have a 1973 42' aft cabin which I am in the process of upgrading. We have owned the boat for 16 years and my wife disliked the carpet from the start. (off white twist pile carpet) I did tear out the carpeting from the kitchen forward and installed engineered flooring which is working great with throw rugs. I now want to re-carpet the main salon and aft cabin. As you know there are two large engine hatches in the salon and several bilge access ports in the aft cabin. I really want to do this myself if possible. We want to use a high quality pile carpet and not anything easy like carpet tiles etc. 1. Think I can do this? The carpet would be cut into many smaller sections. Nothing needing severe stretching. 2. How would you affix the carpet? I think it currently is stapled to the plywood decking without a pad with tack strips along the edges. 3. Use a pad? If so what type? 4. What type of carpet and pad?
OR hire an expert.....but who? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "UnifliteWorld" group.
