I searched and didn't really find the info I was looking for. I am replacing all the carpet in my 1992 24 Outlaw. The cockpit, up the sides, floor boxes, the boxes in each corner upfront that hold the front speakers, front panel of the back seat, front cabin wall, and cabin.
Mine has glue in carpet, and I am going the same route. I was told to just grab indoor/outdoor carpet. Has anyone gone this route and what did you experience? The stuff I looked is Olefin which is the same as marine carpet.

Replaced mine in my 87 240 3 seasons ago, still looks as good as new. Got it from yourautotrim.com
Slightly more soft then indoor outdoor but still water resistant ect. Did the whole cockpit in 6 yards I believe.

i grabbed 20oz carpet from www.boatcarpet.com and then I took "indoor/outdoor carpet glue" easily found at home depot or lowes and its cheap and holds VERY well. take a small notch trowel and spread it out, push and position the carpet. you have a couple minutes before it starts to goo up. then push it down with a rolling pin, i used an old spray paint can and pushed it down into the glue.

Good to here, I got indoor/outdoor form a carpet warehouse. I got a 12' X 15' piece which I think will replace every piece of carpet in the boat. I am trying to figure out how long it will last on the cockpit floor, as in the cabin it will probably last forever considering most is covered by cushions and out of the sun and elements.

Well looks like I am going to return this carpet i got, the guy that helped me at the store must have not known what he was talking about. I was looking up the carpet to see the specs on it, and had a hell of time trying to find it. Well thats cause it isn't even indoor/outdoor, its commercial loop carpet. So I am going to return it, and then order some from the boatcarpet.com.
