mine was replaced before I bougth it - fiberglass insert ... hatches etc. built-in. Much nicer. The teak is pretty, but the replacement sais more practical. I have fish boxes and 100% access to everything!

Well you guessed it, new exhaust going in , one new muffler, rewire and clamp the spiders nest of wiring that was hidden before. It looks really clean now that its all white on the inside of the hull. We also removed all of the floor boards and painted them white, scrubbed the bilges and are painitng them today. Compared to todays rigging standards it was let to fall into a mess over the years.

Fish Boxes

Post by JuiceClark »

I really want/need a fish box or two in my cockpit. But with the exhaust running back there I couldn't figure where I would put 'em. Do you have a picture or two you can share of that project??
Nothing like catching a few tuna and having them flopping all over the place all the way home!
