I AM GOING TO RIP UP MY CARPET ON MY 1973 Glastron. HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS.<br /><br />WHAT TYPE OF CARPET SHOULD I PURCHASE AND WHAT GLUE SHOULD I USE. THE PREVIOUS CARPET IS STAPLED DOWN.Should I STAPLE THE NEW CARPET DOWN.

My 78 SSV-176 has outdoor carpet and it's very rough to th touch, I don't like it. It is stapled as well, but has never moved so I would think it was OK.

I had carpet in my boat, but now I put this marine flooring in. In my opinion, its much better. the water rolls off, and will never smell like musty mildew.

I replaced the carpet in my Glastron SSV188- this last winter. The local big box home center sold several caprets with a marine backing by the foot. I used my old carpet pieces as a pattern and did all my cutting in my driveway. The carpet is glued to the floor with exterior grade carpet glue. I did use stainless steel staples in a few places. I get compliments all the time on how nice my carpet looks. As much as I am happy with how it turned out, I like dmarkvid2 idea of using something other than carpet. It is just a matter of time before I will be replacing again. Consider carpet alternatives.

Lowes has a decent selection of marine grade carpet and the glue to apply it. I used it on my fish and ski and have had no problems.
