Finally Done. Here are the last of the pic.
Here I am demonstrating how to bend the curve on the lower part of the cabinet. I used a Heavy Duty heat gun to heat up the bend and slowly worked it around.

This is also the underside of the counter top. I installed a silverware draw.

By the way, we camp in this boat all the time, so organization and more storage was going to be in the design.

Here is the cabinet pretty close to completion on the floor.

There are a few small things to touch up and add in the future, but pretty much done.

I also replaced the vinyl on the sides all the way to the front. I removed the divider between the bunk and bench and replaced the black vinyl with the white. The black panels on each side of the divider are now white also.
And a pic of the new carpet.

I estimate the materials (and refrig) to complete this job where about $4000.
The Labor hrs unable to keep track of. Seemed like 1000's.

Looks great! I sold my 357 last summer and I miss the cabin space, as my 353 is much smaller in the cabin, but I do like to added speed. Do you plan to replace the cloth interior, with the soft white leather that they are putting in the newer ones?
