I bought a 1993 Regal Inboard Bowrider....it is in great shap with the exception of (3) small interior issues.....some of the interior side trim is coming loose and falling down as well as one of the cleats/rungs that hold the (2) removable seats that sit on either side of the engine in the stern of the boat.

I am looking for the least obtrusive way to strength/repair:

-1" vinyl trim band that goes runs along the interior sidewalls

-The interior storage rail that runs down both sides of the boat at about the height of your shin...you might store the lights or the dogears along these sides...I'm sorry I do not know the terminology.

-The trim seems to pull away from the staples and the glue and I am not sure what holds the seat supports/rungs/cleats in place.

I can't find ANYTHING online of how to make these repairs.

Thanks for any help

First things first, welcome abord. Its difficult to vision what your looking at but in the past to tighten up lose screws I use epoxy glue (let it dry first) or wood splinters to make the screw bite in. seats are generally screwed into the floor and if they are lose you are into a completely different fix (soft spots on the floor, yes not good) The staples might be just rusted off and new stainless steel staples might do the trick.
