I am considering removing the "headliner" from Elii Henry. Any input any one has on this would be appreciated. The basic idea is to remove the insert and do the ceiling and area of the ports in wood. No headroom gained at all but I think the wood would look much nicer and it would not decrease the headroom if I have removed the insert.
I now have blank vellum with which to actually start drawing Elii Henry's new interior. I can't wait to see what I come up with. I think that drawing everything out might actually be more work than all of the remodel itself. I've done the hands on boat work but always to plans drawn by someone else. Has anyone here removed the insert from the main cabin before? Was it actually bonded to the deck laminate such as around the ports? top of the cabintop? the bulkhead in which the companionway hatch opening is? Any and all input is appreciated!!
