Anyone have any knowledge of where to get a replacement snap in carpet kit for a 2000 190 Horizon?

google has pulled up nothing for me so far.

Thanks in advance.

JC

My best suggestion is to buy some marine grade carpet,and use the original carpet as a template to cut to shape. The press studs can be bought and fitted using the original as a template as well. I did this a few years back because the original carpet was rubber backed , and once wet stayed that way for ages. The new marine carpet weighs less and dries much quicker. I have never looked back
Hope this helps

Just my opinion, I would go with a third party manufacturer to replace your carpet. Usually they'll send you some material to cut a template and then they make it to that spec. There are some really nice materials out there that will hold up better than what FW uses. I was at the boat show last weekend and even saw some really nice thatch and berber snap in carpets. My 2 year old carpet in my H260 looks worn already. I plan on replacing it with something entirely different.

This year will be the third season with carpet from Home Depot. I bought it, used the old carpet as a template, put the snaps in myself (bought them from Walmart). Still as good as the day I put it in, no rubber backing to flake, the edges didn't fray and only into it about $45.00 total.

Well if you do want the original style (or some other choices), you can try:

They may already have templates for your boat, or you may need to make them. The good thing is they do a full edging on the carpet like the original.
