I've decided that I'm going to be covering the ceiling with vinyl instead of painting or gel coating it. I bought some test vinyl from Sailrite and started testing a couple of foam thicknesses and found that 1/2 inch foam under the vinyl will cover just about any imperfection. It actually looked pretty professional.

Since my test I've ordered all my vinyl and foam from Sailrite and am going to start this in the next couple weeks. My Mom can sew and we bought an upholstery machine for her to do the work. Hoping that she teaches me as well since it's a skill that's pretty useful when you have boats.

For the interior wall and ceiling seams we've decided to hem one of the pieces of vinyl and then overlap where they meet. Then we'll just glue down that overlapped hem. There will be a top stitch on that overlap in matching thread color so we think it will look nice. We tested a couple pieces and it actually worked.

For all the interior cushions we've decided on a Sunbrella interior fabric which is supposed to hold up really nicely.

When I have pics I will share them. I'm documenting this as I go.

I also have to mention that the people at Sailrite are unbelievably helpful. And after researching fabrics and supplies they are competitive. The help and being so courteous has earned my current and future business. I highly recommend them if you have any upholstery needs.
