Thanks Mike,I have to preface my answer by saying, I do little woodworking, making furniture etc. As such I redesigned some aspects that I thought would work better. The Oday hinged counter top was replaced with a solid piece That opening under the counter was recut to accommodate my radios. The V berth plywood is fixed in place and I cut access holes.I painted the interior with a good quality exterior house paint, and primer, Behr. It's all in the prep work for this. I tried using a compressor. It worked greta for the nooks and cranies, but I was not impressed with all the mess and coverage so I switched to a foam roller. I would recommend the foam roller. It put on a very smooth finish.I used 1/2 inch oak plywood for the bulkheads and galley. The “compression post” is solid oak. The finish is a custom blend of minwax with 3 coats on polyurenthane, not thinned.The v berth is just plain painted plywood.The lining is a vinyl lining I bought at an auto interior supply shop.The galley counter is a laminate.With the exception of the liner you can get everything and the hardware store.Expect to do a lot of fine tuning to fit the wood pieces. Since your referbing I would suggest installing an MP3 radio and speakersI’ll be happy to answer questions as you go onward.-Doug
