Refinishing my F-32
Posted: Wed Jan 15, 2014 10:46 pm
Haven't been on here much, always reading but not posting. Last fall I had my F-32 trucked home from Lake Superior to my shop in Stillwater, Mn. One motor lost a cylinder so I felt I should have it brought home to fix. Since then I have decided to rebuild both 318's, while they are out I thought what a great time to clean and paint the bilge area. Then decided this is a good time to add saddle tanks! While the motors are out for rebuilding why not work on the rest of the interior! Have redone the total galley area, putting in new counter tops, new glass cook top, 12volt halogen lighting, new teak doors and drawers and built in microwave. Head totally gutted and new counter, sink/ faucet, cabinets out of teak, new head and teak grate floor. All new table and cushions, headliner removed and gloss white beadboard replacing it. New stainless water heater with engine heat exchanger, 3/4 in cherry flooring with maple accents through out, new gauges upper and lower helms. And the list goes on! Pics some day soon, I feel my Trojan is worth putting this kind of money and time into it! For you Trojan owners in the southern areas this is what us northerns do in the cold season!
