I plan on pulling the boat out of the water soon for some scheduled maintenance - hull paint for one, and I have a list of a zillion things I want to do, but I can''t afford more than one project at a time - so its interior refit time.
Partly for self-aggrandizing but mostly for my own personal motivation purposes I'll use this thread to post my progress.
The situation: the interior is original from 1973, considering that, it's in remarkably good shape. But there are plenty signs of wear and its not very attractive, and I don't like the current layout.
I plan on pulling out everything and replacing it with new of the same, with the exception of the main bulkhead, which I will redo in the more open style of the Oday 222.
While I have it planned out in my head pretty well I'll mostly wing it as I progress along. I've done a bit of woodworking in my day, my wife has done some upholstery, and I've seen some good ideas here and there, so we'll see what happens. The end result is quite nice in my vision of what I'm looking for in this small space.
For starters here is some before pics
And a pic of an Oday 222 interior I'm shooting for.
No doubt I'll need some advice from time to time, I'm good with roughing in not so good at finishing touches.
I expect total project time to be about 4 weeks. If everything is not done then that's OK, I can do final touch ups while the boat is in the water, but I want to get all the heavy lifting done while its in my front yard.
