Updating the cabin

DazeOff

I'm one step closer to finishing the cabin updates of our 2003, 270 FV. Below are before and after pics of the v berth cushions and the side bolsters.

That looks good. Looks almost exactly the same as the cushions I have in my 07 280

I don't know what Rinker was thinking with those fabrics they used...same for my 05- looks like something out of the 50's or the back of your van with the shag carpeting!

Looks awesome by the way...

Fabric patterns are likely based on saving $$ by buying what is available. Best to stick to earthy tones, full color (no pattern). Might be boring, but will not outdate. Add pillows with patterns to liven it up, which are easily replaced.

Very Nice, this is my next project as well.

Thanks everyone. I should be finished installing the new cabin sole by next week, then I'll post more pics with the new cushions.

Exactly what I was going for. I really like the look and won't look dated as long as it's maintained.

@DazeOff you got that right brother. And way easier to clean than fabric

Vinyl is hot sweaty and slippery to sleep on.  Fabric is cooler easy to work with.  

We made a pattern of the v-berth and having a fitted thick quilted cover made out of fabric that is almost like a mattress pad for when we use it for sleeping but easy to roll up snd store. We put the fitted sheet on top of the cover.

Cushions done!

That looks great!   I'd love to do the exact same.  Curious, what was the total cost to do that?

$950 material and labor

Finished cutting out the cabin sole. I'll post pics as soon as I lay it down.

how hard was the removal of the old carpet?  I called a company about having flooring like that installed, and they quoted me$30/sq ft, for removal/installation.  That would be over $1500, and doesn't include the new floor.  Seemed like a lot of labor cost to me?  thoughts?

DazeOff

Test fit looks good so far. If the admiral gives her thumbs up I'll pull up the carpet and install.

Looks nice my carpet is looking naraly, Did you glue it or just lay it in there? and how much for that sea deck?

It's just laying there for now. Once I pull up the carpet, I'll glue it down with the PSA backing it came with.  It looks like seadek but I ordered a 4x9 ft sample direct from a EVA foam manufacturer in China.  $30 for the sheet and $40 for shipping. I wanted to compare to seadek and others and seems to be the same.  

randy56

fair priced, $70 for the cabin floor, do you have a link? to order.

DazeOff

Go to www.morevafoam.com and click on the eva sheet link. I requested a 4x9 sample with 4mm bottom in black and 3mm top in brown with textured brushed surface, teak grooves cut length wise. Also add the 3M pressure sensitive adhesive for easy install. Should be $27-$30.

randy56

got it thanks, will get it ordered, swim platform next? 

DazeOff

That's the plan.

Had a time trying to figure out how to order from this site, but was able to get e-mails started. with Hung

I ordered with the lines but they can send blanks if you have someone a cnc router.
