Silver Lining Checking in
Posted: Thu May 16, 2013 6:45 pm
Hi All,
Its been a while since I have been on the site, and it has nothing to do with us now owning a Silverton, I have had a heavy travel schedule with work and a recent college grad in Miami, I have to tell you, those of you in south Fla have a boaters dream in cruising grounds, I was in Seattle a few weeks ago, which is also a boaters dream but the Keys, holy crap!
The silverton is coming along ok, we pulled all of the locker doors out of the boat, and have stripped and revarnished all of the doors and teak frames with 6 coats of satin poly (interlux schooner) what a job! We will update the hinges and pulls when we reinstall them.
I bought a new sofa in lieu of making my own this time, I found a RV / Marine sofa dealer in LA selling on Ebay, they carry a Flexsteel knock off that folds out to a bed and in the color I wanted..get this 500$ cash ---it would have cost me close to this to make my own when you figure in the cost of foam, vinyl and the wood and hardware.
The next project will be the galley, I am looking forward to having this done the galley updated, it by far dates the boat more than anything.
I havent put the doors or the sofa in the boat yet, I'll post photos as soon as I do.
Happy Boating to you all!
