I've got a few ugly spots in on the headliner around the salon hatch and over the pilot birth. The hatch is being rebedded this spring (both hatches currently being resiliconed) and the pilot birth is old damage.
I was wondering if anyone knew where to get the headliner material. It seems to be basic brown board with a coating, I pretty sure it's Euca board but was hoping someone new a distributor other than Homey Depot.

I just replaced a piece of headliner. I was looking for the exact replacement too, but I stumbled on some plastic panel at home depot that is very thin, like a few millimeters. Its textured on one side, and unless I point it out to someone, they dont notice the difference. Benefits:
Its plastic so wont soak up water and need replacing again
Rolled it up and shoved it in my back seat so didnt need to tie it to the car roof
Cut to fit with scissors-mine was the piece on the aft of the mast so needed some intricate cuts
Since flexible, I can now remove just a few screws and bend half of it out of the way to access thru bolts from the deck

I will replace all of mine with this eventually. It will be in every Home Depot. Walk the isles in the building materials and you will find the sheets of it. The color was white. I bet they make an egg shell you could find on line if the slight difference in color bothers you, but like i said earlier, people cant tell the difference.

I replaced mine with Komotex, from a sign shop,on the advice from somebody on this forum some years ago.

I replaced mine with 3/16 pvc board that I purchased in 4x8 sheets from a shop on long island whose name escapes me, it worked out well.

This is exactly what I just redid ours with. I replaced the entire cabin - with the exception of the the sections under the side decks. The major bonus was that because it was so thin, I now have full standing headroom just about everywhere. It was that last 1/4 inch that did it for me Smile
