How much to re-carpet a Bass boat?

Lookin4Bass · Post by **Lookin4Bass** » Tue May 01, 2007 5:43 am

I'm considering buying a Crestliner Sport Fish 175.

I've fished out of a couple of them with guys in my club and think they provide a great fishing platform as well as enough space for my wife and I to use the boat recreationally (I'll of course be up front fishing).

The boat I'm looking at is in desperate need of new carpet. Does anyone have an estimate of what a job like that costs?

Thanks,

Peter

Wooch,

I agree. I should have been more clear in my original posting.

Does anyone know what it would cost to have the job done by someone who know's what they're doing?

Try calling Braggs marine in antelope( anderson?) he carpeted a boat for me once and did a good job! 1-530-244-2545
I really am not sure on the cost though, he may give you a ballpark figure over the phone!
Good luck! Jimmy

I know i did an old boat of mine.. If i remember corectly it was about 350 - 400 for good marine carpet 20 for glue another 20 for misc materials... so total was about 400 - 450... It took all in all about 20hrs! I was very pleased in how it turned out. But would i do it again.... Thats a tuff one!

it's not that hard as I did it myself as I did a piece at a time. I have 7 compartment hatch ,deck and floor to do on my boat. I did the hatch first ,then the deck and the floor last.work only about 2 hours aday on it. Total cost was around $250 for material. Labor cost was your time from watching TV.
Use your old carpet for the pattern when cutting the new carpet.
