Location: Already Gone | I restored a 96 Lund Pro V 1890 (19ft.) and replaced all of the carpet myself.
Being an ex-carpet installer, I enjoyed the challenge. I also found that it's a very time consuming project to do it correctly. For complete removal, installation including 7 hatches, installation to 2 deck levels, the sides, and 2 bait wells, I put an honest 42 hours into it, total. And I'm very particular with my work. If I were to do these more often, I could probably shave 5-6 hours off of that....but some removal may be tougher than others, taking the hours back up again.
A Pro V also has alot of ins and outs, and the hatches need to be removed/replaced after wrapping. The carpet alone was $400 through my Lund dealer, I wanted original equipment. Plus some minor adhesive costs. Be careful, there is a difference in quality in boat carpet...some are lighter weight than others. (Check the oz's per sq. inch.)
Based on my experience, I would guess that your project should cost somewhere between $2000 and $3000 as some have mentioned above, depending on the quality of labor available. Some day I might think about doing boats on the side...but not right now. I hope this info helps you, good luck with the project.
