Try a LIGHT mix of bleach and water. I do mean light, or you will be
changing the interior color. Use a spray bottle. Ventilate well, even
using heat if you can.
When I restored the Chris.. I had the advantage of gutting the
interior, and using a power-washer with soap, to blast out the inside
of the hull. Made a world of difference, but then, so did keeping it
dry.
