With the perimeter of the V-berth ready for the Whisper Wall headliner track to be installed, the last step is to get the supports installed for the hatch sliding screen tracks.
The screen tracks will need a bit of cleaning…some day
Half of the original hatch sliding screen framing is there
Like everything else, the original framing is fine for an OEM-style headliner. But because the Whisper Wall track is 1/2″ tall, I need to add some height to the existing framing and make new framing around the hatch opening.
Kind of like that

It looks better with the tent support 2×4 out of the way
Another thing I’ve been doing recently is cleaning up all of the stuff that hangs from the ceiling in the boat. The ceiling frames are a great place to stow woodworking clamps and electrical power strips, and I’ve got CAT5 cable for alarm components strung all over. And all of that needs to get relocated so the headliner can be installed.
The slider screen frame will seal up against the headliner with that fuzzy stuff…whatever it’s called
That’s a wrap
