Deck Pontoon Boat

The easy and most accurate answer is to get rid of the carpet... I know, it looks nice, and it doesn't get as hot... etc. but fact is... where their is damp carpet... their is mildew - and I would bet money that what you think is "moss" is actually mildew - as it can certainly look like moss.
There are pontoon flooring options and alternatives to carpet... Vinyl is probably your best; but, if indeed you want to keep your carpet, then I would suggest a small power washer.
I know from experience that if you roll it up and take it off - (as the other person suggested) you will not only find that to be a pain in the you know what... you will actually have a worse problem when you unroll the carpet again. You will only do that once, and you will never use that carpet again.
Years ago, I invested in a small Sears powerwasher. If I remember correctly it was just short of a $200 investment... and it was one of the best things I ever did for my boat...
I tell you... I clean everthing with it - from my upper helmstation to the bottom of my hull (yes, even while it is in the water).
I loaned it out a few times to boat neighbors in my marina, and most of them have since purchased their own. I use mine about 6 times a year on a regular basis, and maybe two or three again when something comes up and I really want my vessel to look "ship shape".
Course, this is not a prevention for mildew (only clean & dry is that... and you won't find that on a boat; but it sure does a quick and easy job of getting it all off...

Happy & Safe Boating!

I would like to buy my first boat, I have 3 small boys, and I leave by a nice calm lake here in TN.
I can only fit a 20ft boat on my garage.
What is the main difference from a Deck Boat or Pontoon boat, both look similar from the inside, but is it the handle, trailing very different? I appreciate any imput, thanks for your help!!

The Pontoon boat is just that two pontoons and a flat deck usually for a nice slow ride around the lake for Bar B Que's and fishing and swimming. The Deck boat is designed for the same things but with the versatility of a runabout where you can usually pull a tube or skier. Both will be larger boats and may not fit in the area you have. Both are good choices and with the limited Space you may want to consider a nice small run about . It will cost you less and still have versatility. A good open bow is nice or a cuddy if you prefer to have a cabin area to get out of the wind if needed.

We have owned a bass boat and we liked it but we wanted a more comfortable ride so we got a bow rider. We always like to take out friends and family and we've outgrown our bow rider..So now were looking for a new boat but can't tell which is best for us. WE want to fit at least 10 poeple and we want some floor space but we also enjoy camping and thought it would be cool if we could sleep on the boat I like the idea of a cuddy but we use our boat on weekends mainly for partying.. What kind should we get??
anything you didn't like about your boat if it was one of these??

A pontoon boat would be your first choice for 10 people. Unless you want a 32 foot deck boat. Or a 40 foot plus cruiser

We normally just pressure wash the deck.

Shampoo (the kind for oily hair) - it has degreasers built in but is gentle enough to not damage the carpet. Works on oily stains in the laundry too. Just make sure it's only shampoo - not shampoo plus conditioner.
