I was in my garage the other night having a few drinks and thought it sure would be nice to have new carpet in my boat so I tore it out.
Ive redone my Lund but that was a wood floor and decks.Any tips that may aid me in putting my rig back together.

Some ideas sound good at the time!

1Fastlaser is probably the best bet for info. Most carpeting is glued in place and rolled. As long as your edges get rolled under, especially in high traffic areas. Check Home Depot or Lowes, see if they have special glue for fiberglass. I used 3m glue on my boat w/o any problems.
