I am constantly amazed at how dirty my floor gets. I make people take etheir shoes off but it still gets dirty after 2 or 3 days. I can take a wet towel and push it around with my foot to get most of it up but I still have to use it deck wash and a stiff brush from time to time. If there was carpet in there all that dirt would be sticking to it or going to the bottom of the knap.

As to taking out the carpet if that's what it came with, I'm split 50/50 on that. It might depend on who was going to be using the boat, and how wet/sandy we would be.

We have run our boat with carpet and without carpet. Definitely prefer the carpet on our feet. We do have to be careful , however, about airing the boat out after days of wake boarding. Otherwise we could get mold.

I have never tried the sea grass but I'm sure I would like that, John.

Cobalt also offered a rare "Admiral blue" carpet option for the 260 series. I converted our last boat to that color and loved it. I would not recommend it for the hotter climates though. It could get hot.

But it always amazes me at how dirty the floor gets when everyone is barefoot and in the water? Where in the thunder does it come from?

Step on grey carpet and it disappears!

Funny stuff.. I used Something like that from west marine to clean and it worked good. Plus it got the rubber backing cleaned completely that was stuck.


Cmon inside the house.. easy deal..have a seat ..
Cmon the boat.. Hold on!! shoes off.. towels down on seats.. Check in all spray sunscreen and open containers .. weeeew now we are ready.. All rules off once at idle.

I believe the Boat gods have a sense of humor and that Boats are a natural debris magnet.
