taoriginal Posted July 31, 2016 Has anybody used this company for replacement carpet for their boat? Prices seem reasonable. My boat is 10 years old and carpet backing is coming all apart and just looking pretty worn. http://www.snapincarpet.com/ecommerce/detail.cfm?id=260&cat=51 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChappyRob Posted August 1, 2016 I am awaiting samples from them as well speak. I have talked to several slip owners in the marina who have used them and say they are better than www.snapincarpets.com (almost identical name only with an "s" on the end). They will send samples of carpet, which is nice. They also have the Nu-Wave backing, which looks to be better than the black backing that I am sure you are scrubbing off your deck (I am doing the same thing).

taoriginal Posted August 1, 2016 I have a sample on the way price seems fair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChappyRob Posted August 1, 2016 Prices are reasonable. Like I said, I know at least 5-6 other boat owners at the marina who have used them to replace carpet on their cruisers and seemed to be satisfied and agreed that the price is reasonable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No but other than a local shop I'm starting to think they are the only game in town. For 700 beans per set, maybe we should buy an industrial sewing machine.

I have a lighter color and it doesn't seem to be any hotter than my carpet was. We do keep our bimini up 90% of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also spoke to a few boaters that have this product and they said it started to produce a sudsy foam when a heavy rain started. They used vinegar to get rid of it.

Mine foams too when it gets wet from the people getting out of the water. Mine is pretty dark, maybe that does add to it getting hot. I think it looks awesome though. https://goo.gl/photos/n6TdMiqqzk1YksvT9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomnjo Posted August 3, 2016 Have never had the foam. Took a cruiser wake over the bow once, got pretty wet, no foam. I have the HD backing, maybe it's different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomnjo Posted August 3, 2016 Also forgot two nights ago, boat was parked down hill in the rain with the cover on. Rain poured in the cover vents filling up the bow area. No foam then, either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huhner Posted May 14 Did you say a certain kind gets hot? Or a certain color?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptScott Posted May 15 Ours is from snapincarpet (no s). The process was easy and the product looks great BUT it does get hot as #$^%. Now that younger kids are on the boat I am thinking I will have to get something else in the near future. Pretty frustrating. It is only a year old. The product is Sea Grass #11 https://www.snapincarpet.com/marine-weave.cfm If anyone wants it for their 256ssi let me know, but be ware it gets hot in the sun.
