Sometime this winter my boat is getting completely rerigged. Right now, the two small lamps in the cabin don't work, so they are coming out. I'm not sure what my options are for lighting. The cabin is a V-berth setup, about 7-8' long. I think I'd like some general light in the cabin rather than spots. I'll probably put some kind of foot light where you step down into it as well, probably wired to the deck lights.
Here's the cabin so you have an idea of what I'm dealing with:

Here are the existing, non-working lights. There is one on each side:

Then the cockpit or deck area needs lighting too. Here's what I need to light up:
The rear area:

The front area:

It would be nice to have colored lighting, like the neons I've seen in other rigs, but probably in LED's. Not sure if I want to stick with white for intensity/output or go with a light blue. Due to the narrow beam, I don't want anything that sticks too far out off the gunwale though. Flush mount would be really nice.
Suggestions? Links?
Thanks!
