1. I want to order a new cover for the boat. The oringal cover is
getting work out and has a few rips in it. What is a good supplier for
something like this? I have no idea even where to look.

Mac's Upholstery, just north of the Ballard Bridge. 206-783-1696. Very
good
work, reasonable but not cheap price. The outfit across the street from
the
Rock Salt (approx) on Westlake is supposed to be good, too.....but I don't
know
much more about them. Mac's is always a safe bet.

2. The ceiling of the cuddy has some water stains in the carpet. It's
pretty ugly and the previous owner said when he got the boat 3 years
ago it was just like that. I am thinking of ripping the carpet out and
either replacing the carpet or simply painting the cieling.. what do
you think of the painting idea?

I think you'll find that underneath that carpet there might be some pretty
rough looking scrap wood. Paint won't help it much. See why the foredeck
is
leaking and fix that. Then experiment with trying to clean the stains off
the
carpet. If you rent a Rug Doctor with the
upholstery attachment it can be used to clean carpeted headliners.

Oxyclean worked great for me on a ceiling fabric stain.


You do know why they put carpeted headliners in boats, right? It prevents
high
heel marks on the overhead.


lol. Good one!
