Interior wood work

I came across this listing and thought it was interesting. It has an inboard engine but what really caught my eye was the interior. Check out the woodwork. It is fun to dream about what can be done with enough time and money.

Wow ... is that carpet on the ceiling?

Wow. And it is the fixed keel. Also with the "tall rig" option, which I think was only available in the earlier models.

I just hope I can make my hatch boards look as nice as Scott's.

When I was looking for my boat last year I saw a 1976 C22 with the tall rig option. The owner told me the tall rig was the same mast that was used on the C26 but put on a C22. Is that true? Just curious for more useless knowledge, does anyone have any to share?

sweet, so damn clean and great price when you factor in ...it includes the engine!!!...stored inside, topsides are gorgeous....

I am planning that type of treatment in the c-26 as well ...what type of wood slats do you think those are on the walls...and yes they put carpet on the ceiling....
Did anyone do a teak/holly sole in a c-26 ( fixed keel) and give me advice?

I also heard that the tall rig is the c-26 mast and w/ fixed fin keel that that c-22 set-up is known in our waters ( LI, NY) as FAST!

Im not sure what the slats are,but i have looked at some flat wood trim at lowes and home depot and am thinking it would be simple to stain them and then attach to the hull,havent decided to do it yet but i sure like the way it looks,as far as teak and holley sole im not sure if im the right one to try and tackle that job,i think id screw that up and its just to expensive for trial and error!I have looked at this stuff and it seems simple but is also on the expensive side.

that is one hell've a big small boat and I bet it is fast..maybe a J24 killer....

I have seen teh new teak holly sole "linoleum" products and I am very tempted for ease of install and to save weight but I am worried that it will look cheap and cheesy and look so damn fake..I am trying to make the cabin look warm and richer with LESS plastic... but has anyone actaully seen any of this fake stuff..is it convincing? I bought a small sample and it was really too small to tell adn anyway it was so shiny plastic I wasn't oo impressed.... but I am sure it looks very diffrent installed on the sole..

I was looking a birch panelling at Home depot that is very thin and has a unstained "bead board or toung/groove kinda wainscotting real wood finish that you could stain...I am not sure it is flexible enough fo the walls of teh v berth though...
