I ripped out the headliner last year and have been thinking about this one, too. Will probably paint white as I like having access to the through bolts, and may also install a strip of LEDs at the wood interface to bring more light into the boat because I liveaboard, but not sure if that might turn it into the Good Ship Lollipop....
Whatchoo' need more winches for?
BTW, do you have an anchor windlass?
Solar panel installation isn't too bad, just takes time, like everything else.
