Default 29' owners......have you ever used your sink in the dinette???

I dont know about you but I used mine once in the driveway to see if it would work.....thats it........Im pulling the whole thing (dinette) out in the future to save some wieght and make some more room down there.....the icebox RARELY gets used also because its a PITA to run down there every time you want a beverage......we use a cooler topside that I glued some rubber to the bottom of so it wont slide around......So, anyone preparing 4 course meals in the cabin of their 29'......???
Should Reggie have an optional "standard" V berth with just a berth and some simple facing lounges???.......be saving some wieght for sure.......doug

In my opinion being that I just got off the market for a 29' would be that it would make your boat harder to sell with out the sink. You probably wouldn't lose any money on your boat but would probably take longer to sell it at that time.

Yes. I guess I was just looking at the 'sink' usage and not the cabin size issue. Not that I have much more. I wish my sink drained directly overboard, instead of into the bottom of the hull for it only to have to work it's way back to the bilge. 1st thing I did was to run a hose directly from the sink to the bilge because the water would sit in the hull bottom trapped at the bulkheads.

in the stock configuration its not very good for "dining" and not very good for sleeping........making it one big berth makes it very good for at least one thing......sleeping.
Jerry - shoulda' popped a hole out the side of the hull for the sink drain while you were there.....scary drilling holes right smack in the side of your boat though

OOPS, my bad. Doug, I do have a thru hull sink drain, I was thinking of the cooler draining into the hull bottom. The cooler bottom is lake water level. I've eyeballed that thing a 100 times tring to come up with some way to drain it over board. Since I don't like water in the hull, we use the cooler for dry storage. Not that Fountains lacks storage up front.

Mine was only a foot or 2 long originally. Just long enough to drain into the compartment with the gas tank. Has one now that goes directly into the bilge just in case we have to use it for ice. Haven't had to use it though because the icemaker in the cabin keeps up pretty good.
