While redoing my stringers, decking, and transom in my Capri I've ripped out all the carpet in the cabin. It smelled bad and I'd imagine it would be impossible to get half-clean of all the fiberglass dust.
Anyway, I've got like 20 yards of blue and light beige vinyl to redo my seats and stuff with. I got thinking, could I cut wood panels to fit the sides and ceiling of the cabin (like 1/8'' plywood or something) with maybe an inch of padding and wrapped in vinyl? And attach them by epoxy-ing several bolts for each to the hull to act as a stud and holding them in place with nuts? I figure these plywood/padding/vinyl panels won't really weigh much at all and won't get wet. For cosmetic purposes and to keep from embedding a nut/bolt in my head I'd cut off the excess and fit a "button" (you know what I mean, right?)
My mom is excellent and working with vinyl and did a great job so far with my jumpseats. Could probably make some cool pattern with it too. I think it would be pretty cool. Any comments? Aside from carpet what else do you guys do for cuddy cabin interiors?
