So, the “almost or was white carpet” in the salon from 2002 is looking dingy and wanting to replace...

I really Love Al’s cherry stairs upgrade, but I think It loooked great with the contrast of the white cabinets... I have The cherry color finish for the cabinets.... so I went to the local carpet store, he said he won’t be able to order til spring :cry:

What I want To change is the stairs, and the aft cabin.... if it wasn’t for the cabin showing an inch, I would Just recover the removable pieces and be done with it.... has anyone changed the entire carpet in th a salon/cabin? Looks like Corinthian carpet has stuff on the roll, just need to pick a color/pattern and get a sq/ft number and order.

Any other places you have dealt with? Open to suggestions on where to buy, product, experience, all of the above :shock:.

I had The rugs for the salon and cockpit replaced this winter, so, I think I might As well do this too :lol:

You might look at https://greatlakesskipper.com
Put "Four Winns" in the search window. They show several carpet, fabric, and vinyl choices for OEM replacement.

Good idea Gary, is there a way to see what stock they used that year, they have some light choices, just can’t tell which would be it.... I would Prefer to just redo the steps, and the strip around the aft cabin to the closet

Thank you

Yea, trying to match faded carpet based on online photos isn't always a sure thing, but it's worth a look. Its hard to say how much to replace until you see the difference.....and decide how far you are willing to go. You might go to the Four Winns site and look at the brochures for that year for colors.

That turned out really good! Can’t beat the cost either. I have About $1200 just in the cockpit and cabin replacement rugs.... i think I wipl Get another $150 for the permanent carpet replacement, plus install... just ordered 3 samples to see what looks the best
