Wifey B: Above I read from psneeld:
Really depends on how you use a boat....
Like a living room at home?
Or a hunting cabin?
It's really no different to us than our land home. We don't track dirt and water and grease and grime any more than at home.
Carpet is comfy. That's why we love it in bedrooms.
Now to salon, we have lots of wood outside the salon to walk on so makes a nice change. More wood would just be too much. As to tile, sorry, too slick. With water around it's going to get slippery. I'm tempted to carpet our patio
I just like carpet, the feel, the comfort, the safety. As to keeping it clean, I don't find it any more effort than tile, in fact perhaps less. I'm talking to same level of clean. I'm talking not having smudges and marks on the tile. I'm talking keeping tile like a nice home, not a hunting cabin.
If I had tile, I would have rugs and carpet runners on every part of it that I walked on.
