Replacement carpet in cabin for 280DA

[Loose Cannon]

Looking to replace a few sections of carpet in the cabin, for a 280DA (2007). Is it possible to obtain original/aftermarket carpet to match? Any vendor suggestions would be appreciated.

It's a b!tch to get off the deck. DAMHIK!! Is it stained or worn. Pix would help. If worn, you may want to go with a floating floor.

The previous owner installed wood flooring, one large piece, which became wet underneath with mold. I ordered Sea Dek to replace the main floor section (I thought I would try something simple and avoid using wood and carpet); however, the vertical areas around the main floor are carpeted and have some damage. So was thinking about replacing just the vertical areas. No access to boat right now so no pics; was hoping to order carpet and have it for early spring project.

Most companies have the boats templates and some require or prefer you to make new ones. Do not make templates from the old carpet as it may have shrunk or stretched. I used corinthian and loved it. Tell them you saw them here and they give you 10% off.

Finding OEM carpet for a boat out of production is nearly impossible. Most everyone selects a high quality interior carpet similar to one of the colors/patterns used on a newer model just to freshen the look. The vertical covered trim pieces are fairly easy to remove and recover. The 4" or so pieces are screwed in place so your first challenge is going to be locating the screw heads. Once you do, remove the panels and take them off the boat for recovering. It is a simple but time consuming task…... remove the old carpet by scraping or what ever means necessary since the carpet is glued on, then cut the new caret and use carpet cement to glue on the new strips, weight down the strips to insure a good bond, and let the cement dry.

Good luck with it.
