Hi all, In the process of having new covers made for our inboard cushions and are considering various fabrics. Any inputs regarding the value of "marinized" fabric for a boat interior would be appreciated. For example, do we need to use "marinized" fabric, or is a reasonably sturdy material that one might use on a living room or family room couch OK? We are cruisers, so we won't be dragging wet sails and sailors through the cabin on anything near a routine basis but will occassionally wind up using the cushions wearing damp bathing suits with the precaution of using a towel as well. "Marinized" materials, of course, seem to be upwards of double the price per yard of non-marinized materials. And, while many "marine" grade items for boats make infinite sense, regardless of price, many items seem to carry the all too familiar 100% "marine" mark up, often times for little or no reason. Any suggestions here would be most welcome...Thanks, Jim
