Chrysler Sailors Forum

I have pretty much finished the cabinetry on the starboard side. Will probably wait until winter to start on the port side.

See it here:

Wow, nice!

That would keep all the stuff on the shelves from falling out!

I love to see the craftsmanship in your guys work!

Inspires me to do better...

Nice indeed !

wow Gregg man do you ever have some skills, Looks great

Nice work! ~rubs chin and thinks of some new ideas...~

Simply nice work seems to fall short a bit... like so many others on this forum, photos like this keep me hesitant of offering up my own humble offerings. Its all good, it keeps this shad-tree project sailor on his toes... keep them coming.

Very, very nice Greg. I'm working on the same this winter. Going to try and cram all my electronics in there. Going with mahogany. What kind of wood is that?

Thanks for all the kind words. I really enjoy working on the boat, just hard to find the time. Right now, it is at the dock, making working on it that much harder.

That is mahogany, or actually, one of the various species of tropical woods called mahogany. I doubt if it is true mahogany.

my wife saw your pics........more work. it looks great send more pics

Oh thanks!
Now I have more work too!


That looks spectacular! Nice job!

I tell you the quality of overall boat improvements is taking a serious up tick. This is another example of high quality custom fabrication.

Thanks

I took these pictures with my Droid. I can never remember to turn the phone sideways before I take the picture...

Very nice.

Great job Greg! Will you need to lay your boat on the port side when you do your magic to that side
You may be able to rotate your pics on your photo web site.

Terrence, don't underestimate your workmenship, we are all freinds here we just want to steal your ideas

Beautiful! I am humbled by your awesomeness.

WOW! looks great... on my list... how many hours?

That looks like "poleWrap" am I right, if so, what type did you use? oak ? and then what finish..? did you glue it directly or put some foam between that wood and the hull? what glue did you use? also for the wash down seacock..is that below the waterline on a c-22?

That oak finish pole wrap was put in by the PO. If you look at the later pictures, you can see that I removed it. The PPO (previous,previous owner) built a book rack and sawed/butchered the fiberglass liner to install it. I removed the oak tambour board (pole wrap) that the PO installed and refinished the cherry book rack. The other cabinetry is a generic mahogany. The sliding doors and door panel are Home Depot luan underlayment. The finish on everything is satin clear solvent based polyurethane . Thank you for the compliments. I still need to install the hardware. I plan on putting a VHF radio in next to the stereo.

what glue are you using? and are you putting any liner or foam against the hull...

what was wrong withteh polewrap? curious was it just a aestic issue or was there some poor performance as a ceiling cover that warranted your removal...

I am thinking of it as a solution for the ceiling ( walls ) of teh boat/

I just didn't like the oak with the existing mahogany. It looked kind of cheesy in the particular application. The PPO used a sheet of Formica on the back of the book rack and the PO used the tambour board to cover it. I removed the oak and contact cemented a tan vinyl to the Formica. The outer hull of the boat does not show as it is concealed by the vinyl covered Formica (plastic laminate).

THANKS! I agree with you on the oak and was considering the cherry polewrap to look like mahagony or the birch to look like Holly to match my teak/holly floor...
