Hi Carolyn ~
We always purchase our motor yacht mats from S S Nautical. They are wonderful mats but we need a navy mat in size 36 x 48 for our indoor pilot house area. This company does not make this size. Any suggestions on where we can puchase a good quality one for our lifestyle since planning on doing the Great Loop next year.
Have a great day!
Joni

Seriously, I’d try Amazon and then just Google. Use a search term like “36×48 navy rug.” Just a quick search finds this one that looks like it could be good for life aboard: https://www.xpressmats.com/waterhog-fashion-entrance-mats
