One dealer says they keep the new carpeting in storage (not letting the renters use it) so that would be a plus...a far as renters damaging anything on the boat, they hoist them up and inspect them after each use.
I rented a deck boat a couple years ago and watched as the techs/yard hands inspected the entire hull for damage before they gave the okay to the office.
The boat is literally lifted overhead when you return it...
I would imagine they'd love to charge that $1000 damage retainer for the slightest, damage (which is what you agree to in the rental paperwork.)
