Location: Oconomowoc, WI | I have definitely noticed a trend toward non-skid type surfaces in boats and I , for one, am excited about this. I would definitely prefer to not have carpeting in a boat, or at least have the option of a snap -in carpet like some manufacturers have gone to. I'm not sure why its taken this long to happen though. The saltwater guys figured it out long ago.. |

Location: Elgin, IL | 18 or 20 will last longer in high traffic areas. It's worth a few bucks extra to go with 18. I chose 20 recently for my Lund and it's working well. |

| One thing to keep in mind if you go with heavier carpet is whether you'll still be able to close your lids if they're also carpeted. If your carpet is too heavy you'll be doing some shaving to get those lids to close.
