So we planned to just add Air conditioning to the cabin this year and see how we really use the boat...... then this happened. Total gut and start over. This was a usable cabin.....

Stay tuned...

Whole cabin is gutted. New bulkheads going in and new layout starts tomorrow. Plan is 2 couches facing each other, large berth, as much storage as possible, bar on one side, closet with porta chitter on the other and we have to fab a new door. Hopefully it come out well. Bruce Jones is doing it and he already has some pretty trick ideas for the cabin.

More pictures tomorrow.

Anyone have a good source for vinyl for the seats? Particularly the diamond pattern pleated stuff.

Wow your going all in on this one

We had plans to do it next year but it just snowballed.

Removed probably 600-800 lbs at least from the front. 45 years worth of cobbled rerigs. Hoping to only put about 1/2 or less back in .

Should be nice when it's done.

Here's a dumb ?........is the cabin width wider in the 36' than say a 8' beam mistress?.

wow! snowball in fact!!!

I assume it is boat is 9'3" . I will measure tomorrow.

Is Bruce Jones the one who did the work on 'Braceyourself's squadron cig?

Yep. He also fixed a ton of paint on American Muscle II and numerous other boats.

We are making th cabin pretty simple but have a bunch of "may as well do this and thats" while it's apart.

Who has a good source for the vinyl and cloth interiors ? Anyone good in the Ohio area?
