This is down a ways on the priority list, I think re-coring the decks has more priority, but the replaced the center skylight/hatch with a smaller skylight/hatch and there is a 4" open area of fiberglass all the way around since the new one is much nicer, but smaller. I was thinking of pulling out all of the old dangling, somewhat cruddy looking headliner, as it is damn-near impossible to clean and a but wavy in spots anyway, replacing it with some tongue and grove cedar, varnished, finished, giving the boat a homey-look. What I would likely do is fiberglass in some furring strips (1/4" thick) and then use short brass screws to hold up the tongue and groove... Has anyone else tried something like this, anyone think it is a horrible idea? Was thinking of just doing the main cabin portion from the hump where the mast step is back, and only the smooth parts along the top, leaving the curved side pieces as they are and the ceiling in the bathroom and v-berth as is, as it is a smooth fiberglass and much easier to clean.
