I have a 21' Four Winds with open bow and desperately need to replace the carpet. I was thinking of buying a 20 oz malibu marine carpet with Dura-Flex backing. I will sew edging around the carpet and put the snaps in myslef. The sample carpet I received has a different backing then the one that came out of the boat. Again it has the dura-flex backing that looks like it has been dipped in rubber, the carpet that came out of the boat is a thicker rubber backing. My question is...... can i just sew the edging on the carpet and go or is there something else that need to go on the back? Any ideas on good carpet? Am off in the right direction with this carpet and is it just a new and improved carpet or should I look for something specific for a carpet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
