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 Ardy |

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: http://www.snapincarpets.com 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. |
