Old thread but glad it came up because that is a nice interior. Anyone know how to go about that wooden ceiling? Love that and am starting my interior redesign next month. How is this curved look achieved?

Update. The theme of this project is mechanical, electrical and plumbing simplicity. I had a total of 4 thru-hulls going through the bottom. 1. Salt-water cooled engine 2. Unused Toilet waste discharge 3. Washdown/Bait tank 4. Unknown usage under V-Berth I've canceled out 3 of the 4 thru-hulls and g...

What in the hell... Looks like I have 100sq' to cover. Went to the website to order 3 rolls of the 2'x72'x54. Price comes out to $643.50. Pricey but I can live with it. Put in my CA shipping zip code and BAM $897.00 to ship!!! Are they out of their mind?!? It's foam, I mean come on. Do they not sell...

The sound insulation converts the acoustic energy to thermal energy (heat). The more surface area you can get the greater the decrease in acoustic energy (sound). Putting the sound insulation on the side walls in addition to underneath the cockpit flooring will decrease the sound levels more than j...

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like you guys say the 12 gal will be sufficient... and after measuring it's a great fit for my ER size. Looks like I'm going to go with the Raritan 12 gal w/o the heat exchanger for $899.99. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/raritan--1700-series-water-heaters--P011_331_005...

This is the stuff you want to use http://www.jamestowndistributors.com/userportal/show_product.do?pid=9345# Thanks for the link. That 2" looks like it could really buffer the sound. Did you go with the 2"? Also, I noticed you covered the side walls as well. Does that make a big difference...

Hello all, Just gutted the engine room of my F26 and can start from scratch installing anything I want. I want to be able to take a 10 minute continuous hot shower after the restoration. Is this possible? What size tank, pump and heater do I need if so? Notes; -I don't care if I have to fill the wat...

Good luck with your project!

Yes sir, as I'm sure you know it's a little harder to settle down in our two big cities.

I'd put the second fuel tank back in. You'll want the range. Hi Seavoyager, thanks for the opinion. I think I am going to pass on the 2nd gas tank as I need all the room I can get for live-abord necessities and that engine cubby is pretty small. (Fresh water, black water, water heater, water filter...

Didn't mean to hijack the thread with that wiring diagram question. I know BM sells it but I was just wondering if any member had a copy I could borrow. :lol: :oops: If so just DM me please. [Edit: I just ordered my own from Beacon} DOUGNASH could you tell us what the name of that expensive soundpro...

Just read your story here. Great work man! What a good feeling that must have been to clear out all that old wiring. I may just have to take your lead on that and do it as well.

Anybody got the wiring diagrams for a '76 F26?

I'll be visiting BK this October, when does the season end over there?

Here are some cabin pics of the first interior makeover I did. Going to change a lot on the next go around. Cantina/Christmas lights will be replaced by recessed lighting. Curtains will be replaced by double limo tint (so you can't see in at night even with the lights on.) http://i482.photobucket.co...

The price on the bottom work sounds ok , but its hard to say as it depends a lot on bottom condition . 8 hours just to pull a engine seems a lot but can happen if there is a lot of rusty stuff like shaft bolts and if a v-dive that adds to the fun . I must be missing something you said " take o...

And so it begins... The resurrection. Placed in these cocoon straps only to be soon born again and emerge as 'The Pacific Chill' http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr185/captainchill/IMG_3581_zpssky0xrms.jpg I had no idea how much money it was just to "simply" take out an engine. The yard ...
