Before


Old Overhead before work by Chesapeake Nautical
The old overhead was removed so that we could rebed the leaking deck hardware. The leaks caused the old overhead / headliner to become moldy and fall apart. The bolts holding the deck hardware on can be seen coming through the underside of the deck.

Optional features that can be included in your new custom overhead:

  1. Integrated LED Lighting: We can install your choice of modern, energy-efficient LED lights in the overhead panels. This creates a clean and sleek look. It also helps set the mood with dynamic colors.
  2. Soundproofing Insulation: Enhance comfort by adding sound-dampening materials to reduce engine and environmental noise.
  3. Custom Finishes: Pick from different materials like wood veneers, vinyl, or fabric to match your boat’s interior style.
  4. Ventilation Grilles: Integrated air vents for improved airflow and ventilation, especially important in confined spaces.
  5. Access Panels: Discreet, removable sections that allow for easy access to wiring, plumbing, and other overhead systems for maintenance.
  6. Incorporate overhead compartments or concealed storage spaces for added functionality.
  7. UV-Resistant Materials: High-quality materials that resist fading and deterioration from exposure to sunlight.
  8. Acoustic Ceiling Panels: Specialized panels to improve the acoustics inside the cabin, creating a quieter and more pleasant environment.
  9. Water-Resistant Materials: Use of moisture-resistant materials to prevent mildew and water damage in damp environments.
