My wife would like to see some other boats cabins and how you updated them.

This simply won't do!

Here's one. I like the galley and head's vanity idea with under mounted sink. Nice start.

Nice.

This is what the PO did in my dinette area. The pics are from her website she designed when she put it up for sale. The table is made from hard maple and done 2 owners before me. The upholstery is a bit 90's at this point I think, but its not orange plaid. They used a tight berber style carpet in the salon and v-berth areas, and a white linoleum type material on the galley dinette areas. For reference this is in an F-32 sedan, but that doesn't matter much. Just another set of ideas to help you pick a direction. Good luck whatever you decide.

Is all the interior wood in our boats teak?

Thanks, but like I said, I didn't do the work. The previous owner did a lot of it. I'll pass your praise along to her though, that is if she doesn't read it here first herself.

AFAIK its mostly teak or teak laminated marine ply. The guy who did the maple table in my boat also used about 6 metric tons of Cetol on the interior wood. You can see the sheen in the pics. I know they were metric tons b/c Nancy told me she bought it from north of the border. I think its gone a long way to protecting the wood these last 15 or so years its been on there. They sure did use a lot of it though, and to my eyes, they didn't miss ANYTHING that was made of wood.

Here some pics of my 30' Sea Raider interior......

Nice

Nice looking John. Hows that new engine doing?

Thanks.....new engine is perfect.......did the 10 hrs oil change last month and she is purring.....it is so nice to have a short (cheap) "to do" list......couple small paint and patch projects and that's about it.

Stripers (rockfish) are starting to run so all is good.

Here in the Sac Delta we boat all year (sorry) and winter is nice. Nobody out and it's like you are alone on the water, just have to watch the fog....................John

Yes, I'm reading along as you suspected.

The owners before us were Canadian - from Trois Rivieres - but the boat was berthed in Plattsburgh. They installed the maple table, which has about an inch of of that table top epoxy resin on it, and the wife did all the interior Cetol. She was applying a fresh coat the day we did the survey...because she wanted it to be "tout propre" for us! You're right - they didn't miss anything made of wood, and also a few things not made of wood as you'll find out. LOL! We've removed the most glaring drips.

We replaced the flooring when we bought the boat because there were no cutouts for the hatches. That didn't make sense to us.

Commisionpoint (and Nancy) that interior looks beautiful. I love that these older boats used real, good wood throughout. There is nothing that makes a boat feel nicer than huge expanses of well kept up teak or mahogony.
