Hi I have decked in the front of my 1457 sea nymph, I am carpeting it tonight, will staples be good enough or will I have to use some type of carpet glue???

I'd use glue. The staples will hold for a bit if you pull the carpet taught, but they will loosen over time. The glue is easy to apply and will make your deck carpet last a lot longer.
 
Wish I knew the answer myself. I glued the bigger pieces, but only stapled the smaller ones. Guess time will tell.
 
Definitely use glue! Staples will fail over time. I tried them in the past and fortunately it was on a small area. I had to replace the piece and I used glue. No more problem.
