I'm using I/O carpet from one of the box stores. 4x8 chunk for under $10.

we used the marine grade carpet that lowes had in stock. It has the rubber backing and looked good. That was last year, and it still looks new (and we fish about 4 nights/week).

I also went the Lowes rubber backed outdoor carpet, gray in color. Like $6 a linear foot. I use contact cement to glue it down.

I'm doing V Hull and using outdoor carpet from Lowes. Rubber backed and didn't seem to fray off the ends on what I used so far. It may not be the best but the price was right for being restricted on spending.
I looked at several sources and went with Cabelas. I have just ordered it so I cannot comment on the quality yet. I went with their standard vinyl for the floor and deluxe carpet for the hatches. Price was good, and the products got good reviews. We will see??
