I bought a 40+ year-old
Columbia 10.7 four years ago and have been refitting her every year. This Spring I finally got to the v-berth. Ripped out all the old foam-back vinyl
headliner and
hull covers and installed
insulation, PVC
panels and mahogany slats in their place. It's finally taking shape.
Used closed cell rubber and interlocking exercise mats for the
insulation. I have a great lumberyard nearby that sells all types of premium
wood. Got some African mahogany and cut the slats using my table saw.
