Seafari ceiling

[Bushwacker]

That's the one job I haven't done on my Seafari yet! One side kept coming down despite efforts to reglue it, so I just cut it off. Hard to get the old contact cement off without stripping everything. It'll have to wait till this winter - not a summertime job in S. Fla.! Have been looking for some of the "mouse fur" material, which is actually a 70's vintage shag carpet with latex backing on it. Seemed to hold up pretty well except for adhesion problem. Will have to check out the Defender stuff. I'd be concerned that the foam backing stuff wouldn't hold up too well in our heat. Maybe Sandy/GFS has some ideas? (Need to follow up on my threat to bring you a sample of the old stuff to get your professional advice!)

I did speak to Jeanne Moesly at one of our gatherings about installing the stuff, as they bought a 69 Seafari that they restored and cruised all over Florida years ago. Said she laid on the bunk and held the carpet up with her feet while Carl stuck it to the cabin top! Sounds like they're still quite a team, just like in the early days of SeaCraft! Denny
