Boat Carpet Replacement
Snap-in and glued-down carpet are two different jobs — both end with a factory-looking GatorStep deck.

Worn marine carpet is one of the most common reasons boaters call us — and the right fix depends on how your carpet was installed. Snap-in carpet comes out and gets replaced. Glued-down carpet, standard on most bass boats, is better covered than torn out. Either way, your boat ends up with custom-fit GatorStep templated from your exact deck, cut in Lenoir City, TN, and installed in the Knoxville area.
Which one is your boat?
Snap-in carpet: we replace it
Snap-in carpet is straightforward — we unsnap the panels and unscrew the snaps from the fiberglass. Then we template your deck with photogrammetry and install a custom-cut GatorStep kit that covers right where the snaps were.
Glued-down carpet: we go over it
On bass boats, glued-down carpet is part of how the boat is built — it insulates the metal compartment lids. Tearing it out means hours of glue cleanup and a real risk of damaging the boat. Instead, we template and install GatorStep directly on top of the carpet: old, stained carpet ends up looking like a new boat again, with an OEM, factory-style finish and none of the teardown labor.
The Same Process Either Way
Free quote, photos of your deck, a photogrammetry template, and an art proof of your exact boat before anything is cut. Most installs are done in a few hours on your boat. See the full process.
