50 watt solar panel. It's more than I need for now. I run the usual nav lights, cabin light, anchor light, stereo, gps, and vhf, and a fan. In the future I'm hoping to add a refrigerator so I wont have to carry ice chests. If I do I will add a second solar panel. I'm not sure if 100 watts will be enough, so crossing fingers!

Just like most 26 owners, I wanted more storage space and there is a lot of space under the v berth. I cut this piece out with a jigsaw and added a 2x4 frame underneath. It's now stronger than before I did the mod. I was able to put the cut piece back in and glued the old wooden hatch to it for an almost stock appearance! It holds a lot of stuff down there. Jim

The Lowrance HDS-5 stays here when it's not in use. The vhs underneath it was put there by the PO. Eventually I plan on upgrading. When I do, it'll probably go over the galley. The speakers, have extra wire, so I can mount them out on the deck. It really sounds good with them out there! The orange whistle is legal, I think, but is getting replaced soon too.

Stereo install required making this panel. It's 1/2" oak plywood stained and spar varnish. Voltmeter for keeping tabs on the battery, not the best but was cheap. Ammeter is next, and will go in where the 12 volt socket is. Far right is a Zune. It's like an Ipod. I have over 5000 songs on it, of all types. It's like having my own radio station but no commercials!
