We stripped the walls and floor in the cabin of our '79 h33. Money and time being a concern we want something warm and comfortable. We are considering carpet on the walls and cork on the floor. What's on your interior surfaces, how did it finish off, maintenance, would you do it again or replace with something else? Thanks for your input.

Products that resist absorbsion.
Mike: I have no idea what you are referring to with cork flooring. My suggestion is to use a fabric on the hull that will resist absorbsion of moisture. You may want to consult with Hunter to see what they have available or check with Sail Rite (www.sailrite.com). For the floors you may want to consider a berber carpet or wood. Check the carpet stores for remnant pieces. Then you can have the edges bound for a professional looking job.

Agree with Steve.
My H37C has the original carpet on the hull and it still cleans up well. But I called Sailrite and they sent me a sheet with about eight samples of their "headliner" materials. Still have not decided on foam-backed versus no backing. For the salon sole we chose a nice light-colored weave with the rubber backing. Most good carpet comes with a wirey weave to the backing which will scratch the sole. Found it at Stone Mountain, cut it to fit, and had them bind it. They bound some small pieces for the galley, v-berth, and quarterberth. Next time might choose a color that doesn't show the dirt so well. But we thought it would lighten up the interior of an old 79 Hunter.

teak and holly
My father replaced the sole in my h31 1987 with teak and holly. It looks exactly like it did when it was new. It was difficult to remove the old sole but once you have it out you can use it for a template. The bilge hatches were copied also. If you have the ability I would highly recommend restoring the old sole. you woulod not beleive the copliments I have gotten (thanks to my father of course). Like Steve says stay away from anyhting that absorbs moisture.

Re: teak-and-holly, Leif
Leif, where did you get the teak-and-holly veneer plywood? I only need one full sheet for my floor... who retails that and/or ships it? I am in NJ. JC

We purchased the sheets from a local builder of sport fishing boats called Davis Yachts in Wanchese NC. I would think any boat builder could get the product. You may be able to get the name of a supplier from hunter.

price on teak and holly
I had a person from a local boatyard give me a price of $160 per 4x8 sheet. you should try to get it locally to avoid shipping.

Try calling united States Mahogany Corp in Matawan, NJ. 732-583-6300. They are obviously in the mahogany business, deal in all sorts of weird and strange hardwoods, (Ebony or Purple Heart anyone?) and I think I recall them saying they have or can get teak/holly veneer plywood. I've purchased various solid woods for various projects on "Trinket", my Hunter 33 from them. My advice is to have large amounts of money available. I've purchased mahogany and teak venerr plywoods from Bayway Lumber in Elizabeth, NJ, 908-486-4480, although I think they get it from Condons. Sources I have not tried: Condon's in White Plains, NY is a distributor and apparently can ship, but not cheap. Sherman & Sons, Rt, 71, Manasquan, 908-223-1505. Berkely Hardwoods, Hickory Lane, Bayville, NJ.

Just another thought.
Mike: One of the things that I was considering is attaching pieces of wood to the hull with epoxy about 1 ft apart vertically. I was considering putting foam panels between the vertical runners. Then I was going to attach battens horizontially from the top to the bottom. These battens would be approx. 3/8" thick and about 1.5 - 3" wide. The battens would be prefinished. This would make the v-berth areas look like a custom yacht.

Batten job: NICE !
I've seen the batten job done on several boats, particularly an incredible 33 (not mine) named Wave School. I'm hoping to do something similar after I complete several (20 or 30) other orojects. However I'm currently figuring on using strips of light colored 1/4" / 8mm plywood. Lighter weight and easier to work with. But haven't made any firm decisions on that yet. I'm concerned with adding more weight at this point. My 33 sits lower on her lines each season as I add more and more STUFF. 3GM30 in place of the 2 cyl, more batteries, more holding, 15 HP outboard on the transom just in case, more tools (too many tools) and just the detritus that I can't seem to do without.

H & L Marine
Sam: If you consider doing this with solid wood battens, you may want to consider contacting H & L Marine in Southern California. They will custom cut any wood that they work with to your specs. They have several shades of Mahogany and other woods too. You can contact them and they will send samples too.

Transportation will kill you.
Ron of Dallas: Best source for you in this area is Houston Hardwoods 713-686-6176 Tim or Guy Maritime wood has a four or five sheet minimum. They are good for molding because they do not require large quantity.
