    What kind of carpet are you going to use? Would need to know what kind of boat,if wood floor or if aluminum. It would be nice if you could post pix of boat. What the floor is made of doesn,t really matter but it helps to know what you will be working with.

    I did my 17 ft Glasstream a few weeks ago and it really isn't hard to do at all...I just took my time and it came out looking pretty good...Just make sure you have a good carpet knife and keep a sharp blad in it...That is alot cheaper than paying someone to do it. But I don't know anyone that does it professionally.

    slabchaser.....you might want to check w/ the crappieshop in Gray since you are from Jones County. They use to do that sort of thing, not sure if they still do or not.

    The material cost is minimal. It's all labor. You should try it yourself It's not bad at all. I did my last boat which was a 17' 6" Stratos fish and ski. The worst part was all the deck lids. It helped that we were able to salvage alot of the old carpet and use it as a patern to cut the new carpet. It took me a couple of days working here and there, but it's worth it.
    To heck with work, lets go fishing.
