DIY Carpet / Flooring

JoeStang

My 276 is in need of new flooring, as the OEM carpet is pretty worn out. I'm going between getting carpet with higher quality backing, "teak look" foam, or the mesh/woven vinyl stuff. 

Has anyone done a DIY of these at all? There are a couple options for premade patterns, but they are for the BR version of my boat, so I'm not 100% sure they will work exactly how I would like where my cuddy door is. 

I have my old carpet that is definitely in good enough shape to be used as a template, if I go the route of buying sheets of material and cutting it myself.

I made my template and MarineMat did the flooring.

Been thinking about doing the same with our boat

Trace old carpet onto new. Cut with carpet scissors. Have a carpet shop add binding. Done. 

I have done this in both my 330 and 350 - I recommend the weave with felt back (not rubber). Dries fast and no flaking.

Any installed pics or progress when making it? How much did the shop charge to add binding? Very interested in something like this.

Honestly couldn’t be easier. I did it in one piece on the 330 so no seam around the engine hatch. Very clean look. 

I paid about $100 to have it bound (including binding sunbrella material). 

I used these Fiskars heavy duty scissors.
