All wear items... I do my own work so if you can do it for free that'd be a big help!
My Saccenti Apache 36' is a 1995 and interior and paint is all original. They don't build them like they used to.

I know you didn't have anything to do with the design of the 36 but here is my wish list.
I need:
The plastic round light covers in the cuddy of my 36. They have a plastic trim ring that breaks easily.
A replacement latch for the anchor box on the bow.
The vinyl buttons for hiding the screws on the interior trim panels, some of mine are rusted and broken.
An anchor/running light that will pull up from somewhere on the stern of the boat... The one on the bow makes it hard to see where you are going at night.
Some way to prevent the hull from yellowing when I leave it in the water over the weekend... (is it safe to use the hull cleaner?)
Dare I say better cleats,... LOL They look good, but not so useful when you have to get two lines on them. I'm looking for a way to replace them with a pop up of some kind..
And what is with that weird one on the side, midship... Does anyone know what kind of knot to tie, to properly use that goofy thing... LOL
Oh and on a side note....
Dri-Fit Apache T-Shirts the cotton are nice but too hot in the summer..

as far as those cleats.... WTF! those are so hard to raft off with you and that sucks because we have lots of fun, and we get really drunk and pass out, and one time we almost came untied hahah
I ditched the front night light on my Cig, did the stern light rod, OMG that was such a good idea for night boating, I can see now.......do that Rob!!
