So my new to me boat is 10 years old. The carpet lifts at the front of the boat and it's easy to tell its replacement time. I've watched enough videos I'm confident I can do the deed. A Google search into my boat shows it came with 18 oz carpet. I see lots of places selling 20 and even 24 oz carpet.

How much can I go up (if any) and still be able to close my rod lockers. I don't want to make that kind of mistake.

K.D. ..... new boat to ya and ya needin the carpet replaced . that would be the last time you'd even mention carpet again if ya came and had our product installed ....

just finished installing new carpet in my boat. 20 oz is what i went with. ordered from boatcarpet.com and the glue was AAT-290. looks great. the hardest part was cleaning all the old adhesive off.

Fishin1288... i called the number on the website for a quote. Left voicemail for a callback.

My question is this... is 20 or 24 Oz so thick that I can't close my compartments after I install? Is it that much thicker than the 18 Oz that was original equipment.

well sorry to hear that you called and didnt get a call back ... i think the number on the website is the one in Houston. guess i should always post my # on my posts for our location here in north texas . guess ii'll get that fixed .

if it came from the factory with 18 , i wouldnt go any higher than 20 just to be on the safe side .

Ranger your boat looks great ..

It's the 972 897 number listed on the website as N. TEXAS.

Can you pm me a quote (approx) to do an 18 foot boat.

well they messed that up in houston. its 972 897 ... i'll get the owner up here , Todd to get that straightened out on their website . Sorry to hear that . never knew it . I dont get on their site too much .

what kinda boat ya got ?

and that number on their website is supposed to be the owner of the North Texas company .

18 foot G3 HP180. Single console

20oz. carpet will be fine with your deck lids. that's what I used.

i'll getcha a quote this evenin when i go over to the shop

He quoted me $1400 which I could live with but my single console has a lot of vertical areas. He can't get it to adhere to vertical. I guess I could have a spray in Bedliner material on those areas but by then I'd have 1/3 of the value of the boat in floor covering.

I found some 18 oz carpet. I will probably just go that route and diy... About $250 and some labor

Thanks for the replies

I used the 24 oz on my Nitro. It was VERY tight on the lids. I had to get an electric shaver and kinda buzz the inside edges a little. Now it's perfect. And with the deck pad it is almost as nice as my living room. Haha.

we do replace carpet on the sidewalls if needed . i'll get a couple of pics uploaded ....
