Expert Reply:
I recommend using 1/2 inch stainless steel staples when installing marine carpet like the CE Smith Deluxe Marine-Grade Carpeting, # CE11349. I strongly recommend using stainless steel staples because they provide the best rust resistance so will last much longer. You can use whatever staple guy you are most comfortable with, nothing brand specific is necessary.
I also recommend using a hammer to drive the staples all the way into the boards. Especially in areas were there may be extra layers of carpet. You can see this in the attached video.
