Default After Two Years, The New Interior is Going In

Hi All:
Yeah..... it took two years but my 202s' interior is being gutted as we speak. I just took receipt of the custom Sunbrella bow and cockpit covers, and should finally have it all complete in three weeks.
Those of you that remember, my poor Mariah was sun-ravaged by the previous owners' lack of a boat cover.... for 10 or 12 years while it was moored in St Augustine FL. The result was this:.

Let's compare when I take photos three weeks from now. And if anyone needs new 202 cockpit and bow covers, I left my templates with my upholstery guy.

    The Florida sun will kill stuff for sure. My boat lived in St Aug for a year. Thank God it was covered, as it is now. Looks like the boat was a party animal and got caught under a dock what with the bent safety grab rails up front? What is the shop charging for bow and cockpit covers? I might want to get a bow cover. I only have the full cover now.

    How much is that going to cost? I've been dreaming about getting my 216pc talari re-done.

    Curious if you are using the same fabric/materials I think they came with ? Mine will need the sundeck rebuilt before too long just because of a few cracks. Not like yours and wow did that interior get neglected/abused at some point.

    I found the Nautolex Grand Cayman swatches I got from Rochford supply seem to be the exact match.

    Check out the seabrook too....I think the grand cayman is pretty close, but the seabrook has a little higher durability rating.

    I looked at the Sea Teal Nautolex from Rochford Supply. They discontinued it so I am looking towards other manufacturers.... But I left instruction that the specs for the new material must meet or exceed Nautolex specs and thickness.....

    Stay away from the capitano then...durability wise, not as tough. I made that mistake on my new front seats.

    Thanks.... I think my upholstery guy is moving away from Nautolex entirely.... he tells me that he found a replacement that matches all of the Nautolex specs except for the crack temp goes from the -20F to -10F...
    And don't forget that I'm in Central Florida....

    We will want to see some pictures !

    My sun deck is cracked in a few places but only my sundeck. It did happen over the winter probably due to low temps and we might see below 0 but -20 is very rare. I've learned not to put any weight or climb onto the deck when it is really cold. One crack was my fault for doing that to remove snow from the cover.

    In Florida you probably have no worries.
