Shawn,
My boat came with vinyl covered plywood panels that are held in place by
velcro. They had become pretty ragged and warped so I replaced them with
"foamed PVC" sheet. They look very nice. I can't find any pics of them
but I'll email you a before pic. I'm not sure that would work on your
boat, but it's an idea....

We are considering a '74 35-2 which has had quite a number of holes
drilled through the interior headliner, for the purpose of
through-bolting (and apparently epoxy filling/drilling, but not
confirmed by me) various hardware, including replacement stainless
grab rails. In some areas, 4-8" circular holes were cut, and white
acrylic panels similar to the factory panels were added, which look
ok. For the grab rails, there is just a series of 1" holes. There are
also a few places where access was cut for wiring. As a result, the
headliner is not too tidy, with a bit of a swiss cheese look.
What I am wondering is whether anyone has successfully made a
headliner cover from vinyl, fabric or semi rigid material like I've
seen done on other boats. My first thought is that the complex curves
in the cabin top would make this very difficult to do well. I have
seen one example where the white covers were in teak veneer (maybe
this was an option?) but I think that might just make them stand out more.
Also, something more critical than headliners - what do I look for
when inspecting the chainplates on the 35-2? If I get a chance on this
boat, I will need to look closely at them. Are they visible behind the
sliding storage doors, or do I need to take things apart to fully inspect?
