is important to choose the flooring
based on their boat interior and
boating lifestyle. "
Costa says it's not uncommon for
people to want what they've seen on
other boats, " but then sometimes
you run into the problem that the
boat they've seen it on might be five
or six years old and the product is no
longer available. And then sometimes
you just have the customer
that actually wants the best material,
which makes it easy then to steer
them in the right direction. "

A plethora of choices
That's important when there are so
many options these days to choose
from. " Sometimes they want real
leather, " says Costa, " or sometimes
they want Ultraleather [from
Ultrafabrics®
]. It really depends on
where the cushion is going to be and
where it's going to be used: on the
interior, the exterior or the mezzanine. "
Kelly is also a fan of Ultraleather.
" I think it performs better than real
leather, " he says. " It's a little bit more
forgiving and has definitely a wider
range of colors, uses and textures. " He's
also seen a trend toward natural-type
fabrics. " A lot of organic fabrics and
textures, " he says, adding that he loves
to use textured, embroidered fabrics.
His go-to fabric company is Architex®
based in Northbrook, Ill. " They have
a wide range of suedes, velvets and
wovens that have very high rub counts
for durability and a lot of different
colors. And a lot of those fabrics can be
used for just about anything. "
That's also key when trying to
determine what trends are going to last
and what new trends are coming in. " It's
