CHeck R&R Textiles.

They have best carpet and are easy to work with. he best carpet is 20 oz Riblock.

Agree with Poorsche. R&R Textiles are tops.

Is the cockpit floor carpet available? My boat didn't come with it.

you guys are talking about the piece's of carpet that run up the side of the cockpit, between the 2 long black pieces of upohlstry, where the black sliding doors are as well?

I'm not sure what that stuff on sides--but the R&R stuff will replace it and look a lot better over time--especially given the color choices.

poorsche, do you work for boatmat, or own it or something, can i get a carpet made for the floor in my sr 357? through you,

I'm one of the principals in Boatmat.

We have a pretty focused set of products and have chosen not to stray from that venue.

Check out http://www.snapincarpet.com/ -- he's done cockpit catpets for other OSO folks and gotten good feedback. It's a specialty sort of thing and he has templates and archives of a lot of patterns.

Of course I'd like it if you got a matching, custom embroidered BoardingMat, CarpetMat and CollerMat from us as well.
