GL: Deck Carpeting

[Ralph Yost]

Ken
I concluded years ago that most times carpeting on boats is not good. When 
outdoors, the sun will deteriorate it,. it will gather dirt, remain wet 
after a rain, and provide a surface that will potentially slip when you dont 
want it to. Plain decks (either fiberglass or teak) are easier to maintain 
and more reliable for footing and safety.
Just my two cents....
