Thanks Kenny, the power washer is working like a charm.

Got all the carpet off, now that hard part... the glue. I read on the "other site", that a power washer will take it off. That sounds easy so I will try that first.

If not, I have a heat gun you can try and the grinder with the sanding set-up too!

Alex,
Kenny is right ..after carpet removal you will need to sand/grind all adhesive off ...
i have done a couple of boats ...wear a mask!

Do a search on "the other" website. You're not the first to ask.

Then again, since I'm a know-it-all, I have some ideas. Rip/scrape off the carpet then soften the glue with paint-remover maybe, let it sit for a while and scrape off.......or maybe a heat gun and scrape as you go. If all else fails put on a tyvek suit tape all openings and use a body grinder and 80 grit sanding disk.

I'm finally going to rip the hideous carpet off on our boat and get some safe floor put on. Any suggestions to get the old glue off?
