Ship N Shore carpet - any opinions?

[tuanp]

I'm recarpetting my 19' Sea Ray runabout. I'm thinking of using something called Ship N' Shore boat carpet; it's from CapriCarpet. Has anyone used this before? Do you have an opinion, for or against? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.<br /><br />tuan

Why not just regular indoor/outdoor carpet? Should be a bunch cheaper (catch it on sale).

I've read in other posts on this forum that the home-improvement-center indoor/outdoor stuff should be avoided. It's been called "crap", "junk" etc. I'm not sure why though.

Hmm, I'm pretty sure the carpet in the boat I just bought is home improvement indoor/outdoor carpet.. And according to the previous owner it's been in there for 10years at least. It's dirty, and ugly (striped pattern) but not worn out or anything.<br /><br />Perhaps somebody will see this thread and 'enlighten' us... I intend to install indoor/outdoor carpet.. unless a good reason shows up ;-)

I have a piece of carpet on my back porch thats been there 8-10 years. got it from home depot, it's a little faded, well maybe a lot faded, but still strong and solid....I put some in my boat 2 years ago, and no problems yet..........

I plan on using Nautolex Vinyl Flooring on my boat. It is scuff resistant, stain resistant. waterproof, and non skid. It has a textured finish.

i reciently yanked the carpet out of my boat...of course im planning to replace floor too.so carpet sort of a have to anyhow.my carpet was rotted out pretty bad ond other people in my area have had the same trouble with the outdoor carpet.it looks ok but after a few years it begins to deteriorate(it is a good thing i never claimed to be a good speller)it does ok until you drag a foot or tacklebox slides.tears very easily.just my 2 cents on the cheap indoor out door carpet.as far as the ship/shore carpet i've only heard about it never seen it in use but told it is quit durable and as long as pricing is reasonable it sounds like a good choice to me.

Prices don't seem very reasonable, $5.75 per sq. yd. (cut) or whole rolls for $4.75.
