Boat Cushion Material

We just bought a boat and we got a really great deal on it. It is a 1977 sea ray flybridge. It was really well taken care of. But I would really like to update the interior like the bathroom, and the bed area and a little to the sitting area and kitchen. The bathroom is really tiny and had one of those portable toilets. I would like to put a boat toilet in ther and redo the interior of it. I have noticed on alot of other boats that the bathroom interior has what almost lookes like a tub surround would look! Sorry I don't know how else to explain it! There is a tiny area for cooking, which there is not much I can do there, but I want to update the counter top of it and I would like to put in a microwave. The table area is okay but the cushions need some updating to the material. The sleeping area , I would really like to get a bed in it, like they have in newer boats. I hope I dont sound too silly! Has anyone else updated a boat, and how did you do it, and where do you find thsese parts

If there is a ship's outfitter or a builder in the area (and I'm pretty sure there are, since you've got a boat!), why not ask how much the upgrades would cost? I know that in some areas of the country (like Virginia and Massachusetts), there are dealers and parts suppliers who have all the necessary equipment to make the kinds of upgrades for which you are looking. As I said, just ask around at the boatyard and I'm sure someone can help.

You might also try looking at a magazine or newspaper that lists boats for sale and look at their suppliers. (Or you could just Google "Boat parts suppliers")!

(And, no, I don't think you sound "silly" at all; I think you're very wise in trying to increase the value of your investment.). Good luck!
