Thanks! It does look good doesn't it?
I paid £1,800 for this real leather but could have had it done in a cloth or faux leather for about £1,000.

Like I said in an earlier post, why Sealine would finish the interior in blue and brown( the wood) is anybody's guess.

Thinking of doing mine over the winter. The old is blue splash [a kind of swirly pattern]with dark blue carpets. Have they replaced your carpet ? On another note was it not possible to wire your telly via the under stairs cupboard therefore hiding the wires.

Apparently the curtains have now got to be changed according to my better half! "It needs a contrasting splash of colour"!

My lady wife would suggest a similar colour curtain to the seats, and use cushions to add the splash of colour. You can change the look easily and at minimal cost. Pale curtains are also less likely to fade in the sun too.

Regarding thre carpets - I have fitted a carpet one on top of the orignal one throughout the boat. In effect its a big rug! I first cut the carpet, then sent it off to have the edges whipped. The "rug is exactly the same colour as the original one. I also fitted anti carpet creeper to the back of the "rug".
Looks very good but I think I may remove the original carpet completely and fit Karndean wood effect flooring and then refit the "rug" on top of that!
You're quite right regarding the telly wires. I did have them routed through the back of the backrest of the chair but they were moved when the upholstery was done.
