I was reading in another post about the spray liner for his boat and removing the carpet and it got me thinking....

What would I have to do to replace the carpet on my Bennington with a non-slick surface? I believe under my carpet is wood. Is it a matter of having someone shoot/apply fiberglass? If so, who would I contact to get some kind of pricing to do this? It would make cleaning so much easier and so forth.

Any ideas or opinions are appreciated. I am just thinking about it right now and have no idea where to start with this.

Did you get your tax return or something? Why are you trying to spend money today??

Tom, you might want to think about what is involved to just pulling up the carpet. The whole top of your toon has to be removed to just a flat floor. Not an easy job

I am sure it wouldn't be as easy as I was thinking. Don't want to tear the entire boat up in the process. I think I will give Bennington a call and see what they have to say.

Sounds logical in what you say...........

I don't have any carpet in my deckboat, but was thinking about throwing some of this stuff down http://hydroturf.com/products.php?cat=Sheets%20of%20Hydro-Turf. I think it would be pretty cool considering that I always have kids, water, coolers, sand, etc. in the boat. It would be nice to have a non slip, easy to clean surface with a little cushion in it.
