although I prefer more contrast colors, it really is a nice looking classic interior. Nice job!

all white look for me. mostly i did it that way because i wasnt sure what color i was going to paint the boat. i think i may have a little color tossed in when i get the cockpit done in my Scarab

Great job! I'm currently working on redoing the floor in mine - the previous owner had replaced the original teak with non-treated 1x6s! Needless to say these rotted. I'm currently having a hardwood specialty shop nearby get the teak and tongue and groove it with a v-bevel. Costing a lot, but want to get back to original as possible.

I made the floor out of a piece of 3/4 teak and holly venneer plywood. The sheet cost $200.00 but I only used about 1/2 of it. I have plans to make some other projects out of the rest of the wood. I just wanted to refresh the interior. I like the original looks and style. The color is actually more of a gray than white. I went with gray so it doesnt look dirty all the time like the old plain white did. Im getting ready to do some cabin work next. Dan

Was your rear bench upper( backrest ) rotten along the sides when you removed the upholstery ?

It was starting to rot, but was in good enough shape to make a new pattern out of. For being over 21 years old, I was surprised that it didnt fall to pieces. It could have been reused, but since it was apart, it was time to replace it. Dan
