| i just finished carpeting mine - doing it yourself is quite easy. i've never done anything like that before, and i managed a pretty decent job. it makes it look brand new.
the key is to TAKE YOUR TIME and plan ahead, the actual "doing" isn't very tough. the trickiest part is doing storage compartment lids, just cut the corners carefully.
i did the whole job for less than $150, on a 17' boat with 7 compartment lids. i got a 20'x8' roll of carpet and have plenty left over.

this site has good information and instructions. they also sell a "kit" but it's overpriced in my view.

this is where i got my carpet. definitely go with the 20oz. carpet - it's very nice, especially once you get it all layed in the boat. i got my glue, knife (new sharp blades!), etc. at Home Depot.

this is a good article on doing the carpet laying.
if you'd like i can send you a "step-by-step" of how my job went, to include pictures. i'm waiting to get one roll back right now, but once i do i'll be posting some pics on this site, too. just drop me an email.
if you're even marginally competent, it's a relatively easy job. i could do it, and i'm just a lowly NREMT-B...
