Jay, like Garris, I have a 1979 22' Revenge but the headliner in my boat was in pretty bad shape. Every time you'd brush against the material, you'd get a face full of dust. I tried vacuuming it but it basically crumbled. On a cool day last summer I put on my old work clothes, gloves, respirator, earplugs and stuck a running full size Shop-Vac in the cabin and started scraping the material off the cabin ceiling/walls. It was a dirty job but the material came down easy for the most part. After about an hour of scraping and vacuuming I had the liner and the layer of foam backing removed.

The cabin walls are bare but its a huge improvement over the prior condition. The former owner included a roll of headliner material that looks to be from the factory. I have 0 upholstering experience and no desire to give it a shot so one of the last steps of my restoration will be to find an upholsterer to replace the foam padding and the headliner.

Good luck in your search.
