Hi all,
I have a 2004 Maxum 1800sr3. When I got the boat last year, I was given the carpet for the interior as well. Carpet is brand new and doesn't appear it was ever put in. The snaps and such are all on it and on the hull and ready to be put on. Where I store it on the trailer in my driveway is under trees and I get leaves and pine needles everywhere, so I left it out so it would be easier to clean and hose off as needed. Next season I am going to have it at a slip in the bay, and presumably not under trees. Is there any downside to putting the carpet in next season? I have covers that are on the boat when I am not using, but obviously rain water still gets in. I don't mind not having it in there, just think it looks sharp with it and figure I have em, mine as well use it, but if it's going to be a major pain I will not bother.
Thanks!
