Looking for Maroon/Grape Carpet for 87 Crestliner

Hi,
I just found this forum,looks great. I was going to search through the site to see if I could find an answer to my question but got overwelmed.
I am going to restore my 87 Crestliner Viking Deluxe. It has a Grape or Maroon colored carpet that I have been unable to find on line. The carpet on the sides of the boat are in excellent shape and I would like to keep it so am looking to match it when I replace the floor. The boats colors are maroon and gray so I thought about maybe using gray carpet on the floor if I can't find a match. Not sure how that would look though. I did check with Crestliner but they don't have it, the guy I talked to that takes care of the carpeting didn't work there back then and had never seen the color. Any help very appreciated. Thanks, Jim

I'd go with the gray. Having had navy carpet in a boat, it always looked dirty. Even right after I cleaned it, one step into the boat from the ground and it looked horrible again. I would expect maroon to be just as bad. Gray, however, shouldldn't be too bad if you don't go too dark.
