RE: Advice on fixing water damaged cabin ceiling...

When we bought the Eagle it had several leaks that discolored the ceiling and one area that the 2 X 2 and ply had to be replaced.* Since nobody would know what the original looked like, plywood with a vinyl coving, I was not concerned about changing it.* I stripped the vinyl, replaced the 2 X 2 and plywood using screws and Epoxy.*Then I spayed the ceiling with off color white with ceiling texture mixed in which covered the blemishes.* To accent the ceiling and cover the seams, I added/hid with ˝ round wood, stained to match the surrounding teak.

So what ever you do I would not be to concerned about how it originally looked as long as the new matches/goes with the rest or the*areas décor/color.* Nobody will notice and in time you will not either.* *
