I was asked to post recent pictures of the progress on my 2800. After getting the boat back on the water it was time to start on the cabin and cockpit. As of today, the cabin is 95% finished...just a couple of things to finish. Last monday I installed the Lonseal Loncoin flooring in the cockpit. Next we'll begin making combing panels for the cockpit and finish the rear bench seat! Enjoy the photos, they're long overdue!
I'll start with the gutted shots first. I stripped the cabin down to bare glass. I also glassed in a Nida Core mid cabin cieling bulkhead and deleted the overhead cabinets that ran above the seats.

I also deleted the screwed in teak bulkheads that separated the cockpit from the cabin and replace them with a glassed in Nida Core bulkhead. The teak bifold doors were scrapped for a framed bifold door.

I refinished the port teak galley and starboard teak hanging locker in Ebony Polyurethane. All the trim moldings were sprayed red to match the cabin vinyl. All the seats were recovered in white vinyl with red trim and black piping. New white headliner was installed with silver cabin liner on the hull sides. Charcoal gray Aqua Turf carpeting was installed on the floor, under the seats and inside the cabinets..

The cockpit sides have been covered in silver hull liner and the Loncoin flooring installed. The rear seat box has been recovered along with the backrest corner pieces.

Lastly, a couple of v birth shots looking forward. We used silver carbon fiber vinyl on the trim that covers the hull/deck seam.

Couple of water shots!

Wow that cabin looks great!

Awesome Awesome job!.....It gives me inspiration!

wow! nice update!

Other than installing my cabin lighting I finished off the last items on my cabin restoration. The new "V" shaped panel that conseals the back of the dash is now installed along with the valance above the cabin door that gives access to the back of the radio and compass. I also built a wedge to the bottom left of the cabin door to cover the fuel tank fill and vent tubes! Lastly, I picked up a few early xmas presents for the boat! A new West Marine 240 watt am/fm/cd/mp3 stereo with 6.5" Coax speakers and some 4" dimable LED lights. Both the speakers and LED's will mount inside my recessed cupholder/speaker/storage pods for the new cockpit combing panels.
