Thanks for the video. We have a boat that's almost identical to this one. I know this was three years ago, but about what do you think the total expense was to replace that carpet including labor (ballpark)?
What can you do with a raw edge that sheds carpet. Propane torch the edge to kind of melt the plastic to stop it? Cauterize in affect the edge? If I vacuum the edge enough will it stop shedding the carpet?
Thanks for the video, I'll be carpeting my new floor for my drift boat today. Is there a grade of carpet besides "Marine" grade that I should look for? Thanks a bunch bud!
washburnbilly thanks for checking it out! If it’s going to be on sections of the exterior of the boat stick to marine grade but if you don’t mind swapping it out every few years go for comfort!
@@CarpetExpertBlueprint well it's an all weather boat so I gotta use marine carpet. That Home Depot claims to have but don't have in stores? So we just grilled out instead. ;) Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it!
I got the wood all carpeted tonight and ready to go to screw in tomorrow. But why would you use regular carpet instead of marine carpet? That doesn't make sense to me? And I'm not being a jerk, but the extra money is well worth the hassle of not having to do it every 2 year's? Anyway thanks again for the video! I looked like a pro tonight flying by the seat of my pants! LMBO!
washburnbilly that’s awesome that your project is moving along smoothly! Totally a fair question but at the end of the day I sell the clients what they want and disclose any probs they may encounter with their selection
@@CarpetExpertBlueprint well honestly I think that you should insist on marine carpet if you are working on the deck of a boat! But I do know what you do below deck? I don't have that kind of boat. ;) So take it as you will? But from a fisherman in Michigan I say thanks! Get here and I'll take you fishing!
Hey, i recently bought a decent boat 1985 Diversity 18footer with a 2009 200hp johnson outbrd motor... the floor is kinda soft and i was looking into changing it... how much do you guys think it would run me to remove the floor and put a new one on?
I counted a few different ones referenced verbally or visually.. freeze at 2:16 shows the bucket of General Use Multi-Floor Adhesive and he speaks of the one in the squirt bottle near that scene
Can somebody that knows a lot about carpet tell me if you have ants in your room can you get carpet over it? Little explanation: So I have ants in my room and I’ve had them before but recently we got our carpet taken out from the flood and without the carpet I’ve gotten a lot more ants in my room then I ever have and soon we’re going to have people come put carpet down and if they can’t put the carpet down bc if ants I’m getting my ass whooped
Penguin Guy anytime I’ve ran into an ant prob when we’ve removed carpet we’ve sprayed the perimeter of the room then did the installation after This strategy prob isn’t the “cure all” but just how I’ve handled in the past
The opening video had me cracking up haha. Great job and great video. For detailed work like that I would try to price it so I'd be making around $100 an hour. That is a skilled service to do.
Gold Coast Flooring thanks mah dude! Yea my buddy caught that clip after work so I bought it off him for $10.00 thought it’d be a fun intro. Good call on the $100 per hour! being completely real that tiny boat took 6hrs so I’d a been better pricing it that way
Carpet Expert Blueprint Stuff like that always get you on time, RVs or any kind of custom stuff like that always takes forever, really nice finished look Mike
I spent many years installing carpet (one of the few who was actually licensed and bonded). I can tell you that on the few occasions I did an RV or in an environment similar to a boat’s interior, staples into fiberglass was definitely a “no go.” So I am very confused about how this video makes it appear that staples seemingly popped in and held with no problem (and I used to use a real gun, not that DIY thing he is using in the video). I would love to know the answer to that. As for the suggestion that the staples will “rust” that is not a fair criticism or concern. If the interior of a boat like this was getting so much salt water that the tiny portion of the head of a staple in your carpet is rusting….. you have bigger problem than the condition of your carpet. If this were an exterior area maybe (possibly stainless staples?). But in the interior of an upscale boat like this… no problem.
Is this interior house carpet?
What kind of knife are you using to cut the carpet , it cuts so easy .
We're are you located
Thanks for the video. We have a boat that's almost identical to this one. I know this was three years ago, but about what do you think the total expense was to replace that carpet including labor (ballpark)?
$400 in materials. $500 labor. My guess
Is that marine grade carpet? don't look like it?
Clint East nope, it’s just a nice residential plush carpet that we installed on the interior of this boat
Won't it mildew and smell?
What can you do with a raw edge that sheds carpet. Propane torch the edge to kind of melt the plastic to stop it? Cauterize in affect the edge? If I vacuum the edge enough will it stop shedding the carpet?
Is that a 1992 searay 330? We just had ours recarpeted and this looks exactly the same. Even down to the purple back rests!
Quinn O'Connell awesome! I’m not 100% sure but I’m actually going to be there this week. I’ll find out and follow up. Thanks
Carpet Expert Blueprint sweet!
What kinda of carpet is this in the video

Sounds like you might have a slightly rotten floor which you’ll need to glass in a new one, not just carpet.
A lot
What kind of glue did u use
I counted a few different ones referenced verbally or visually.. freeze at 2:16 shows the bucket of General Use Multi-Floor Adhesive and he speaks of the one in the squirt bottle near that scene
haha that truck left the ramp out
Christian Wilson my dude caught that clip after work I was loving it so I purchased it from him! I figured it’d be an entertaining intro
I feel for that guy! Who hasn't screwed up like that in the past.... I know that I have! :)

I would say the ant problem doesn’t decrease when you have carpet. I would say you just don’t see them because they are under or in the carpet

FloorsbySouthernboys I hear ya! I was literally like “only one more hour till we’re done” for the last 2.5 hours of the job lol thanks!
Seems more like a sales pitch than a how-to.
This is a 100% video on who you don’t want doing your carpet... THIS GUY! dodgy!
👍🏻
Staple to fiberglass?????? NO WAY!!! Use steel staples that will rust and stain the carpet?????? NO WAY!!! This guy is a jerk!!!!
