interior patterns

Does the MM have upholstery drawings for multi colored interiors. (i.e. Width of Black/White/tango red bands) Pleat dimensions, etc. Copying off another boat doesnt make it original.

Sadly it will only sell if it's more about "Nuts", than "Boats"! Characters are the sellig theme, and believe me we have some characters!! Fighting over barn finds, Auctions, Judging, and old Farts racing will sell, unfortunately varnish, steaming, bottoms, and preservation wont!!
