just curious what are the pros and cons to adding carpet to your boat ? I like the way it looks but am worried about the maintenance of it. I use my boat in salt water most of the time and occasionally take it on the river. thanks
J.P. said:i planned to carpet my boat, because it looks so nice and i admire it on most of the amazing builds here and the super shiny bass boats.
my style of fishing involves a lot of getting on/off the boat in secluded coves, inlets and beaches, and the floor looks like a disaster after a day of fishing. having tried cleaning the muck off my boat after each trip, i don't think i'll be happy with carpet. cleaning the bare boat is difficult already, it would be twice as difficult if there's carpet to catch all the twigs, leaves, sand, mud and pebbles.

I prefer something that I can just rinse off. On boats that don't see a lot of getting in and out of in mud carpet is great but it only takes one gumbo mud filled boot to really make a mess on carpet.
