Hi Everyone!
We just purchased a 1974 E27 and we're excited to be part of this community! This is our first boat, so please excuse the dumb questions.
The storage area between the galley and the hull had some old carpet-like material lining it, and I'd like to replace it before putting our things in there. There is plywood on the bottom, and the back is fiberglass (inside of the hull, I believe).
I'm wondering if folks have any recommendations for a material to re-line it. Something soft and non-slip is obviously good, but was hoping to find something that's easier to clean than the carpet-like material that was originally in there.
Would a sheet of EVA foam be okay to use here? Seems to fit the bill, but I'm curious if that might cause problems with moisture building up behind it. Maybe EVA on the plywood base, and the breathable carpet-stuff on the back?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Mark
