My Cafe Project

[BDiggity]

Started getting some of the interior back from the upholster. Its gonna look 1000 times better than the old cloth. Will post pics when i get home.

Now for the headliner. I plan on using a suede vinyl like this suede example (vintage grey) that is glued to maybe 1/4" foam. Anyone see any issues w/ doing that? Is there a better/different headliner material?

Ooops. Can a mod move this to the Cig section

1. Anyone know how to remove these wood trim pieces? I want to wrap them in vinyl like Havasu Hangins Cafe.

2. Old fairing trim piece. Going to make a new one, this one i think beginning to show wood rot at ends. New one will be wrapped in purple cf vinyl.

3. Berth trim pieces about ready for new vinyl. Adding speakers & replacing old lights w/ LED's from yachtlights.com http://www.yachtlights.com/item--Hi-...Round--98050HI

By the way, where are you putting the TV(s)? We put ours on each side of the cubby hole over the table. Just a thought for ya.

Thanks Tank. I stole, err i mean borrowed a couple ideas from HH's Cafe when he posted pics.

I pulled the wood trim that frames the entry sides & top to the berth & had it wrapped in foam & vinyl. I also took the wood trim from the bottom of the door & sent to Westcoastoffshore. He is going to make billet pieces which i'll have powder coated. I think i am also going to have a step glassed in the berth. The drop from cockpit to berth floor is about 18" i think. Gets tricky after a few drinks & being in the sun all day.

Our tv is going to mount on the forward facing head wall. With the arm that can extend & rotate, should give enough viewing options for the kids. I like how you put yours in the console area. i was scared to make too many holes.

Frank- the carpet was actually pretty easy. It really didnt tear up the foam except in few spots. I was thinking about putting fresh foam in anyway. The headliner sucked as i had foam shavings/dust everywhere.

Sounds great man. Glad Kevin helped you out with the steps. I was VERY happy with all the billet stuff he did for us, including the swim step, step plates above the gunwalls and the billet glove box..Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Great project! Page 75 of the latest Livorsi catalog has your name all over it for those cup holders. The LED bases are pretty cool. http://www.livorsi.com/catalog_vol_17.htm
