Cobalt A28 Interior Restoration

Project overview

Restoring the interior without making it look overdone

The Cobalt A28 already has strong interior architecture. The goal was to refresh the seating while preserving that character and improving how the materials, panel shapes and stitching work together.

The finished interior combines warm tan seating surfaces, white structural accents and controlled diamond stitching for a result that feels custom, refined and appropriate for the boat.

Where the quality shows

On a premium boat interior, small inconsistencies are easy to see. The details need to read as one complete design.

Panel balance

The stitched inserts, smooth bolsters and white structural sections are proportioned to support the original seat geometry.

Controlled stitching

Diamond patterns and seam lines are kept consistent so the visual rhythm stays clean across the seating surfaces.

Practical finish

The design is premium without becoming fragile or theatrical. It is made to look right on the boat and work in real use.

Built for the boat

Custom work starts below the surface

Marine upholstery is not simply a new outer material. The foam, shaping, pattern development, seam placement and tension all affect whether the finished seat looks clean and remains comfortable.

Pelican Canvas approaches interior restoration as a complete system, with each visible detail supported by the structure underneath.
