Started to redo the cabin door. It was the only piece of wood left in the cockpit and it needs to go! After asking for some suggestions form other OSO members I decided the rebuild the doors, prime and paint them black and inlay lexan in the middle which will either be black lexan or covered with a graphic that matches the boat!

Here is what the door looks like now!



And the start of the new doors! Making them out of poplar and then they will be filled, primed, sanded, primed, sanded primed, painted, painted!

As always good work.
Couldn't you just made a bi-fold lexan door to replace the existing door using the existing hardware?
I was out at my shop and was going to take pics for you of my sliding door. Mine tucks behind the helm just as you were thinking.

I have to get my boat back together.

I could have done a lexan door but the lexan would have to be pretty thick to overcome the bending and becomes costly. This design will allow me to incorporate the graphic design into the door and add a little character!

Get that boat back together, boating season is fast approaching!

Some more work on the new cabin doors. Decided to inlay some matching graphics to really make them pop. The doors will be all black with the graphic in the middle!
