    Hi There,

    Newbe on the forum,

    I just purchased a 1959 35' Constellation it now resides on Okanagan Lake in Kelowna B.C.

    I've addressed a few mechanical issues, it now runs like a dream.

    I'm planning on doing some interior work over the winter, I'd like to keep the originality and retro feeling the boat came with. I'm looking for advice on interior flooring, upholstery,
    counter/table tops, lamp shades etc.

    Thanks in advance, any info would be greatly appreciated

    That should be easy. Mid Century Modern decor is everywhere. Just try to choose materials that will tolerate a marine environment.

    I removed the carpet in my boat and replaced with Shaw Luxury Vinyl Planks, looks great, water proof and is actually dampens the sound better than carpet. I did the work myself, easy to install except for all the cuts required for the installation in a boat cabin and over hatches.
