Interior makeover [pics] finaly

A regular hardwood also shows nice on a boat in place of carpet. I prefer woods over carpet but we did choose to stay with carpet in the salon and both staterooms for now.

No offense Russell, but that's an awful lot of grey. Rip that volour off the wall and recover it with something
you may be able to get from a boat manufacturer.
 
Hogan I used your pictures as an example when i put my floor down. Ramsport I am on pier 2 on an 85 chris commander...Hydortherapy
 
theres alot of flat surface with that grey velour. how about some vinyl wallcoverings?
 
Some of the new faux leather vinyls wood look great on your walls, and I would also have someone re-apulster the seats in the new fake leather vinyl.

You may want to also look in to wallpaper? Just a thought to get some ofg the grey walls out.

Nice looking boat!
 
I'll look for you next season Brian...I'm on 14 with a beautiful view of
Millenium Force...and that damned train

Russel,

We both have the same maroon/grey combination. It's surprising how wellthe fabric has held up.

Keep in mind that some of the International Series sported gelcoat in a variety of shades. Some had a slight beige tint some were a true white while others (mine included) have a slight grey tint to the gelcoat. I considered changing the maroon transom to a nice soft chiffon yellow and complimenting that throughout the vessel, eliminating the maroon, however when holding that white chip next to the glass we realized just how much grey there is in her. The result was new maroon paint on the transom and repainting the factory silver and black stripes. We kept the canvas in maroon. WHen we redo the cockpit and salon we will keep some grey and maroon, but just not as much. (express cruiser)

Just remember that your colors all need to FIT together.

Nice looking International.

ask around in fabric stores and you will likely find inexpensive furniture reupholsterers working out of small shops.
It is surprisingly inexpensive to reupholster all that furniture if you shop the fabric and work. Vinyl may be OK on some of those kick pads but why not follow the example above and use wood flooring on some of those vertical panels
such as the handrail area for a more upscale appearance.

Flexsteel makes nice looking furniture, a lot of the new boats come from the factory with their couches/beds.

Search for some teak and holly 'planked' plywood veneer for the floors, somewhat expensive, but looks nice.

ALK, I noticed you mentioned Flexsteel. I dont work there, but, many of my friends do, and I live about 8 miles from thier plant. It is not widely known, every so often, like 1 or 2 times a month, they have a large sale there, and you can buy not only new perfect furniture ( ie couches, beds, chairs etc. ) but also scratch and dent or ones that have some small flaw, and all of it is much much less than you pay at the store or retail. This might be something for you to concider if you live near here or going to vacation in the area, and have some ability to haul some of it. I might even be willing to help in some ways if you needed it picked up and stored for a while...D........
