| I don't know the brand but farm and fleet has marine carpeting and it has held up well for me and was half the price of everyother place I tried (online or local) |

Location: Almost Heaven | Check out Bass Cat Boat Co. I used their 24oz. to do my Stratos and they use it on their boats so you know it's good. Used Weldwood original cement that they told me to get and applied with brushes. (Lowes has it) Weldwood orignal gets tacky fairly quick so work with smaller areas at a time or do a test strip off the boat to judge the amout of time you have. No need to use clamps with this cement. If you have any questions PM me anytime.
Oh forgot. When using heavy carpet it makes your deck lids and livewells close tightly. Some people trim the carpet edges where they butt up with the lids and so on. I didn't. I put nylon lift straps on all my lids and used 3/16" aluminum rivets and backing washers to attach. This aids in lifting easier and does not put extra strain on your latches, if the threads and backing nuts are nylon/plastic like mine were. I love the thick carpet though.
