New Carpet cost ?

[Pherris]

Can anyone tell me about how much it would cost to have the carpet in a ranger 520 replaced?
Thanks

If you go to Menards or Fleet, etc., you can sometimes get it as low as $2 bucks a foot if you keep your eye out for deals. Alot depends on your long-term plans. Some of the entry-level carpeting is very good, but it's not quite as durable as an actual marine grade carpeting. Ours sells for $7.50 per running foot. Probably not the cheapest that you'll see, but it's the best carpeting we've been able to find. We've been installing it for almost 20 years and we haven't had any come back yet. So the best thing I could suggest, is to decide on how long you plan to keep the boat and make your decision from there.
