[QUOTE="donmac, post: 274144, member: 8515"] I agree with the shedding deck. But for the folks who are not near saltwater, I don't think carpet is a problem. I suspect the lion's share of fishing boats made today use carpets without a problem. In my experience, salt water on the carpet is just too hard to keep clean. I had a (carpeted) Lund Angler years ago that I'd occasionally take out striper fishing and regardless how careful we were we would inevitably pull in all sorts of 'stuff' that stuck up the boat. Sharks, sea weed, etc... Yes, it could be hosed off and cleaned - but it was a pain and still seemed to stink for awhile... I'm now near the Chesapeake Bay, so I'm putting Hydroturf on my latest project, so it can just be hosed off. [/QUOTE]
