Derek,
That sounds like what I have removed. I do not like voids behind the
material that cannot be accessed and can hold moisture and molds. You are
right that the exterior side is cleanable.
Thanks anyway,
Greg Luckett

I cannot give an opinion on material but last week I looked at a 1968
Owens Aruba with a new
headliner. They had installed miniature potlights within the headliner
(similar to halogen) and had
about 8 or so of them. Two were over the galley sink area. Very nice
job. The lights were mounted
into a thin piece of ply (which you could not see) and hidden beneath the
new plastic like
headliner. The material looked stretchy and very washable. I am sure you
could ask around any
marina and they could advise you but I recommend the light installation
thing. Very attractive
semi-hidden lights.
Good luck in your search
Derek

| Hey gang!
| I need some advice.
| I have been restoring an older boat. It had a overhead sort of like
older

the
| edges and streched. Due to the mold and filth and tears I removed it
today.
| Lots of mold behind and rotted wood stringers, so it was the right
decision.
| Now I need to come up with a new overhead. What options do I possibly
have
| now? I do not want to use wood, such as paneling due to the odd shapes
to

| Thanks,
