Refurbish Your Boat’s Interior This Winter

Shelley Foord

If you have been “bottoming out” on saggy old boat mattresses, living with musty carpet or looking at out of date upholstery, this is the time of year to consider having your boat interior redone. A lot of companies are out there and able to help you with canvas and upholstery but there are also sources for custom bedding and custom sized mattresses to make next season both more comfortable and more attractive for your family and your guests.

One of those companies is called Anchors Away Custom Boat Bedding and company owner Shelley Foord also
has custom flags, special marine dinner wear and more to make re-decorating the boat an enjoyable winter project that will have a big pay-back next spring. Email shelley@customboatbedding.com or talk to your marine dealer about refurbishing your boat!
