Re: vinyl
I bought my vinyl from Hancock fabrics. It will last forever if the boat is covered when not in use. I have used it on 2 different boats and it has worked great. It is relatively cheap. I completely redid one old boat and then gave it to my brother. The bonehead brother tore up the boat cover and it has been sitting outside for 4 years in the south Texas heat and rain. The carpet is shot but the grey vinyl still looks good. <br /><br />I am not sure what marine vinyl is but on any boat I have seen that has sit uncovered, the vinyl wears out quick. <br /><br />Cover your boat.
