New 260 Owner, Glad to be on board!

[Enlowe]

After much looking and our final sea trials yesterday we closed on a 2001 Sundancer 260 with a 5.7L. I've been silently looking at your forum for some time but decided to register now that we are part of the Sea Ray Club! Looking forward on gaining even more knowledge as we depart on our boat journey.
My first question, and maybe someone can point me in the right direction is deep cleaning the seating fabric and carpets inside of the cabin, should we hire a cleaner... etc, some tips are needed. Thank in advance.

When we bought ours, we had Stanley Steamer come and clean the interior, carpet and cushions, cost $300, and frankly i could have done just as good a job myself for free. Would not do again.

We bought a small portable carpet cleaner off of Amazon and wife did the entire cabin in 1/2 day and looks new....
