What did you replace the burlap cloth with?
What did you replace the burlap cloth with?
Took part of the boat apart to measure for an electrical panel which made me realize how nasty the cloth that covers the cubbies on my boat:
What did you guys use? I thought about a blue outdoor carpet, or a blue or brown vinal. I can scrape and pull the old stuff out then use spray adhesive to put it in. My boat's burlap hangs over the edge and goes under the wood trim.
Just looking for input and maybe picturs of what you guys did.
Thanks

The STBD side before:
The Port side afterwards:
I removed the lower and upper wood trim pieces, I pulled the burlap out. I scraped the glue off with a putty knife. There were dobs of somthing thicker and scrapped it with a razer. I wiped it down with an acetone rag, and though it still looked ugly was relatively smooth. The front edge had a bunch of glue residue so I scraped it with a razor and again used acetone to clean it up.
I used 6 foot wide navy blue outdoor carpet from Lowes and a can of 3M spay adhesive. I cut a strip 13.5 inches wide and 6 foot long, sprayed the glue and started at the top and worked the carpet in the curves. Trimed the edge with a razor and installed the wood strips. Behind where the electrical panel I drilled 4 1 inch holes to run battery and load wires down through.
I also remove both rear wooden shelves and pulled the burlap off. There were what seemed like a hundred staples to pull out. I'm thinking of sanding and priming then painting with the blue enamel I'm using on the rudder and hull.

I'm in the process of replacing the fabric with carpet. How did you guys do the overhead in the v-berth area?

I spent a couple hours yesterday trying to get carpet to fit and look good. There doesn't seem to be a way to make that bend. I was starting to think "textured paint" myself.

Re: What did you replace the burlap cloth with?
I removed the nasty burlap fabric and rotting foam and nasty glue a while ago --- I'm planning wood strips -- big job but would give it a warm yachty upgrade look -- not a large area so shouldn't be too pricey -- not sure what to do in the berths -- tempted to do the same... large winter job..
