Nautique Carpet Removal

[johnnyutah]

Hello, I have a 2016 Nautique 200 and I would like to replace the carpet. Does anyone know how difficult it is to remove the old carpeting?
Thanks,

It is glued down. All you can do is rip it out.

Are you just replacing it with other carpet, or are you going to use SeaDek? If you're just replacing it with carpet, just get it started and pull it out. It'll leave some old carpet behind, but you can pull out the big pieces and the new carpet will cover the old residue.

If you're moving to SeaDek, you'll have to sand the floor flat and gelcoat it before you can install SeaDek.

I am thinking of replacing it with SeaDek. This is good information!
Thanks for your help.

I did a full restoration of a 1998 Ski Nautique a few years back, including removing the carpet and installing SeaDek.

It is most definitely an extensive job
