I have an '83 SN with original orange/ black astroturf style carpet. I just cleaned the interior and noticed that the carpet has a heavy mildew/ funky odor. Before I start using any harsh chemicals, I wanted to poll the experts on any tips to deodorizing the carpets in old correct crafts. Floor/ stringers are still in decent shape. Hopefully another 5-6 years before I need to tear it all out. Thanks! ------------- 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 |

You could try vinegar water mix and baking soda or just go right to the hydrogen peroxide/5 part water mix.... just make sure you then hose it out well and let it dry in sun all day before storing the boat again. |

Thanks! Do you know how long I should let the Hydrogen Peroxide/ water solution soak on the carpet before rinsing? ------------- 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 |

Thanks. Just tried the procedure tonight. I'll let it sit in the direct sunlight all day tomorrow and report back the results tomorrow night. ------------- 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 |
