Joe, I agree. As long as someone understands the consequences, then make the boat your own. Just don’t complain afterward.

I do like how it came out well enough to think about doing it to some other areas too. For the head at least it makes cleanup a lot easier.

If you are covering the floor you are obviously “hiding water damage” (always better to replace the floor with real or synthetics). If you are painting over cabinetry you it looks like you are covering up a serious event that was a result of flooding. Solid woods like on our boats can & should be sanded down and re-treated. There is a (once) beautiful 38 Landfall that had such serious leaks while on the hard that it was raining below decks. Nobody will touch the boat now. When in good shape it was selling for $75k. It’s now collecting dirt and we can’t get offers for $5k for the boat. Looking like you are trying to hide something is almost as bad as letting the boat just rot. That all said, if you aren’t concerned with re-sale, do what you want to make the boat look good for your purposes. Just realize the implications. I replaced my floor and am sanding and re-finishing my wood where needed as time does take a toll and things get wet from sailing, sun, rain and crew. It is a boat after all.
