Hi Burt,
It sounds like your new headliner is like the new Hatteras'. Their panels are also held up with industrial strength Velcro. The system probably costs you about 1/4 to 3/8 in of lost headroom because of the plywood and Velcro, but IMO the advantages are worth it.

Re: Headliner Cost
I have heard of instances where the velcro headliner panels fell down during rough weather. A friend of mine got nailed by one falling from the ceiling during a rough trip.

Re: Headliner Cost
Sorry for the delay in responding to the original question, but I just had the opportunity to bring the files home. I was a little "off" on the date of my headliner replacement, so the prices WILL have changed, but here's what I have (these guys did a terrific job btw!):
Bayside Canvas & Yacht Interiors
Ft. Lauderdale, Fl 954-792-8535
Job was done in July 2002. All quotes below include Labor & Materials:
Main Salon $1,600
Galley 500
Pilothouse 500
Day Head 100
Master 1,100
Master Head 100
Aft Lower Hall 50
Guest Quarter 700
Fwd Lower Head 100
V Berth 800
Lower Fwd Hall 50
Work Room Hall 400
Total: $6,050 +/-
That was a LOT of work for the money and the workmanship is terrific. Not sure if they're still around, but I'd recommend their work.
Hope this helps in the decision making process....

Re: Headliner Cost
I would bet that total price would be near double today. Their work sure is excellent. The headliners on Kismet are beautifully done.

Re: Headliner Cost
Thanks Eric. Funny, that comment just came up this past weekend. My yard is getting ready to rebed some flybridge hardware and wanted to thru-bolt a couple of the dinghy mounts. The yard manager says, "Hey, no big deal to pull down the headliner for the bolts." We then take a look in the salon and he says, "wow, nice work....we don't want to mess with that!"
Needless to say, we'll just be recaulking that area of the flybridge!

asbestos
does anyone know if asbestos was used as insulation in the 70's. The insulation above my engines under the salon floor makes me nervous, as if disturbed you can see fine particles floating around. I would assume if its not asbestos then its close brother fiberglass. Any concern about what old the headliners are made of.

Re: Headliner Cost
"Needless to say.."? I am not so sure about that. If those bolts need to be rebedded you are better off doing it right and finding someone who can handle the headliner, or you will have much more than cosmetic details to deal with.

Re: Headliner Cost
Hi I have just purchased a 58YF and was wondering if anyone knew how to remove the headliner in the salon. It is in very good condition however I wanted to get behind to do an inspection. Any help will be greatly appriciated.
