Allright, here is the deal.

I pulled out all my seats in my 88 ski nautique 2001. The carpet is not faded just dirty. My question is what should i get for carpet cleaner? Should i just use the cheap .99 cent foam cleaner? I will be doing my entire carpet.

I also finished rewiring my system. I just got a new mp3 cd palyer. Pioneer flip face one. Rewired my amp so it is a cleaner install. My system is currently a pioneer cd palyer, 2 6.5 kenwoods up front, 2 12'' planet audio subs, bazooka 600 watt mono amp. I will be throwing another set of 6.5's in the boat. DOES ANYONE KNOW FOR SURE IF PIONEER MAKES A TRANSOM REMOTE???

Once, i get a tower (still undecided), there will be 4 6.5's up there, powered by some 4 channel amp. What is a decent 4 channel amp that will power some 200 watt 6.5's speakers. I just want someting that will give me a little extra needed boost and dont shatter my wallet to pieces/

perfect pass wakeboard pro, will soon be purchased sometime soon. I need to start saving more mooney up for this stuff. I will post some pics of the system and boat once it is all cleaned up and system finished up for now.

I've used ordinary carpet cleaner machine solution... mix it up in a bucket with steaming hot water, pour a bit on the carpet and rub it with a scrub brush... then suck it up with a shop vac...

works amazing, and makes your carpet look like new... and smell fresh too.

make sure you can leave the boat in the sun for a day or 2 after such a deep cleaning to make sure the carpet fully dries.

I just cleaned my boats carpet yesterday, i used Cheer Laundry Detergent and warm water. Then I used my tire scrub brush and shop vac.

I had my girlfriend do the scrubbing and i went behind her with the shop vac.

Combine your cleaning experience! Rent a rug doctor with hand attachments and do the house, garage....whatever, and your boat. I was impressed, but would not have solely rented it just for that.
