Good materials for interiors
 
What are good materials for seats and cockpit these days?

The vinyl in my boat is kinda ugly...

Alcantara and cool touch vinyl.

I just had some pieces made from a Silicone type vinyl. Very nice, soft, and supposedly very durable. Time will tell.

Seems like alcantara is the latest craze of what everyone is doing. But, I still prefer cool touch vinyl both in looks and how it feels to sit on it. But it’s all personal preference.

Alcantara
 
Does alcantara hold up to use?

That stuff looks very nice.

I would need to deal with the vegan leather stigma, though…

I most likely won't make it to Rich's, so I would really appreciate some pictures.

Sure, I can take some, but keep in mind, this is on my 1974 20' Shamrock Open, no go-fast bolsters and fancy patterns here!
