Hello,
I've just completed a refit of an '83 Cutter 37. There was endless research and trials to find the right parts. Anyone doing this, I can dig up links to the various parts.
The refit started with an Awlgrip of the hull, mast, hatches, toe rail and deck. Though I had this professionally done with spray application, I've seen several roll and tip jobs that look just as good. With an amazing looking deck, I replaced all of the deck teak and cleats. This made the old water fills, overflow vents, throttle/shift levers, traveler and Lewmar winches look old. Sooo . . .
The new Garhauer traveler was a quick install and a big upgrade. All of the stainless is available from Ali Express and similar at shockingly low prices, though you need to confirm they really are using 316 stainless. The Lewmar winches look new after a black powder coat to bronze drums. The powder coat looks perfect after a season. Extreme Powder Coat of Pennsauken, NJ had an amazing price and good workmanship.
If there is interest and I get inspired, I'll properly document with pics the upgrade.
