[Alberg30] Interior laminated bulkheads?

[Crufone at aol.com]

Brian,
I looked at a 1966 A 30 in Florida that the owner had installed a textured 
fabric wallpaper to the Formica bulkheads.  This treatment was generally off 
white in color and really improved the appearance of the boats interior.  The 
fabric had been installed in 1999 and was still in excellent condition.  The 
owner had single handed the boat and lived on her for three years time.

I know what you are thinking.......wallpaper yuck.  Believe me the 
installation was very neat and the finished product looked sharp.  Think 
about it.  The prep time to install the wall covering is much less than for 
paint and the fabric chosen had held up well.

My boat is number 133 and it has a mixture of solid teak and that God awful 
woodgrained melamine laminate.  I have bigger fish to fry at the moment but 
when I get around to the interior I will consider looking into the fabric 
wall treatment........notice how I avoided calling it wallpaper.  It is an 
appealing option.
