I removed mine too - been (4) yrs I've been living with it bare. I did buy replacement stuff, NOT SHAG!!!, but the the same OEM stuff that is used in a lot of newer boats, i.e. Grady White.

I installed it only on the vertical, aft bulkheads. It looks good, but I did notice that after (4) yrs, it collected a little mold. Makes me worry about doing a whole cabin w/ it.?

If mold was not a problem, I don't think you could beat it.
