Long Awaited Remodel Photos

We are on the hook at Ft. Pierce today.  We spent 2 days in Vero Beach waiting for the wind to turn easterly.  It is still blowing on the nose today, but it is supposed to switch and we'll sail from here to Lake Worth tomorrow and then down to Miami the next day.  We had a our usual great sailing on the Indian River. 

While in St. Augustine, we hade our broker friend, from Catamaran Company, come out to the boat.  He was in awe and did an impromptu video to show around at the office.  Everyone liked it so much they want to do an article for Multi-Hull magazine.  We'll let you know if that happens.

The photos will show a before and after of each section. 

We also made our own YouTube video, with proper staging.  The link is:  https://youtu.be/1ZvvKhlHNw4


As of this posting, YouTube was still processing, but it should be up soon.

 OLD
 NEW - Eliminated a never used nav station and added storage with green acrylic doors.  There are also two large storage areas behind the couch.  We actually store our beach chairs there.
 OLD
 NEW - Custom couch designed to be lightweight for boats.  There is storage below the entire thing and we have tables that snap into the drink holders for working on computers and eating.  The tables store in the arms. 
 OLD
 NEW - Fully functional galley with the home sized 33' x22" sink.  Motion sense faucet for water savings. All storage in drawers on full length spring loaded slides.  No locks needed and no more kneeling down to find something in your cabinets.  Under the stove is a discrete 45 qt Engel freezer on the same type of drawer.
 OLD
 NEW - Countertops is a lightweight 1/4" thick granite and coarse composite made by Granite Transformations.  That was epoxied to our lightweight Coosa substrate.  All cabinets are gel-coated Nida Core.  Notice the separate oven and it vents outside.
 OLD
 NEW - Large, 6.3 cu. ft., two drawer refrigerator by Isotherm.
 Wanted to show you a lift feature we added.  This gave us access to space way behind the sink.  Lift is down.

     Lift is up.  We have power added for the coffee maker.  You can also stop it anywhere you want.  There is backlighting inside for when you want to display your party glasses.

Last, but not least, is the new floor.  Solid cherry 3/8" thick, tongue and groove planks.  epoxied down and varnished with 6 coats of Bristol Marine Urethane.
