Why not try a good quality cord backed carpet from a normal carpet shop i had mine done a few years ago and they even stiched the edges alot cheaper than a marine supplier.

Is that land over there ?

I'm just in the process of replacing my deck carpets.
I have the current ones to use as patterns, and I'm off to the carpet shop to get some decent stuff - NOT rubber backed, but preferably canvas backed on the basis that they occasionally get wet. The current rubber backed carpets stick when they get wet leaving traces of rubber all over the deck.
As they're strange shapes I was looking for someone to 'bind' the edges. A bit of research on t'internet revealed that it's called 'whipping'. (Never knew that). But then I discovered this;

clicky for installation video.
Looks interesting and relatively straightforward, so I'll give it a go.

thanks peeps great ideas just had that last night said to wife Im off to general george to fimd a grey nylon man made with no rubber backing as this must be water/rot proof. only thing is I went to the shop asked the guy for a man made possibly outdoor carpet - he looked at me strangely. I looked around but nothing that would look similar a;lso they all had a thick white nylon felt - ish backing which I thought would just hold more water. anyone else tried ordinary carpet. I was hoping to ohnly replace the floor as I have all the other pieces which I have jetcwashed ready to stick bak on with the carpet adgesive from spray cans - is this Ok or should I replace all carpet using the old one as a template ????? decisions decisions ?????????????????

Boyriven in Wembley used to be the place to buy all your boating carpets and vinyls. Haven`t been there for many years but certainly used them in the past for deck carpet (no backing, allows water through).
Their telephone number used to be 020 8902 9581
Hope that helps.

Have you thought of Flotex ? All sorts of colours and thicknesses.
We have had the stuff down in the wheelhouse for a bout 8 years.
Loads of stockists.

I used breathable camping groundsheet. Easy to cut and does not fray. It is relatively cheap, easy to get hold off and as it is an open construction water just passes through it so it dries rapidly. Does not need cleaning just up pop it, shake it out and sweep the deck underneath
It was fixed down with poppers in each corner and it meant I could have a separate section over the engine hatch easing access
I intended it as a temporary solution but it has seen one good years use and seems to be wearing well

Id much rath still get the original stuff. because the sides are very large and cut out quite intricately and they jet washed well. so really just the floor. tried every carpet shop, no one has any idea. now onto upholsterers as is seems more like a thick nylon material theres no backing it just looks though it glued together underneath. Has no one out there replaced their carpet with similar to the original ???? help please
