    Hi just wondering if anyone has repaired sun damage to the wood inside a sunseeker Manhattan?

    No, but I have had sun bleached wood inside refinished in a Californian.
    I found chatting with other Navigator/Californian owners helpful, I found chatting with actual shipwrights helpful.
    In the end, one has to refinish the stuff. Wood species, tint, and original finish all play a part.

    Did the wooden panels need to be removed, or did they get repaired still fixed to the boat?
