I have been poking around ideas on how to best outfit the interior.
High on my list was new cushions in the cabin. I am guessing the foam
inside of them was original. 11 years ago when I got he boat the
Admiral sewed new covers. The foam inside stunk so bad we soaked them
in the tub in a mild bleach solution to kill anything that might be
growing. We did this because buying new foam seemed kind of expensive
and having just built the house we were watching the dollars more
closely. Now after the cushions residing in the basement for 10 years
it was determined the covers needed to be washed and I wanted new foam
in the two main cabin cushions. I found 4 inch foam locally at a
discount place and had new foam for both cushions for $70.00. That's
about 30% of what it should be. So the boat has newly washed, fresh
covers over nice new foam. Then to go the extra mile the Admiral
decided we needed fitted sheets and proceeded to make fitted sheets for
all 4 cushions and is working on pads as well. I will be looking around
for 4 medium size salon cushions that can fit into a pillow case and double as a pillow at night.
My latest find was a hanging closet organizer to keep the the hanging locker from going to waste. It fits perfectly and leaves room on the the side for a hung jacket. There is also more room in behind it so i may add some hooks for hanging foulies.
