Entire boat, when it arrived at the shop, was gutted out - the only thing left was the basic hull and super structure plus the newly rebuilt twin D-671 turbos. The kitchen cabinets were done by the owner from scratch as was the salon - all hand made and fitted. The entire bridge was rebuilt including the control console along with the hard top. The interior was all hand made - I had a minor involvement with the electronics installation. Took the owner two years from start to finish. -- "Never fight an inanimate object." P.J. O'Rourke |

You could take the entire population of wrecked.boats out for a tour. Very similar looking to the one my former supervisor was using for fishing charters in St. Martin (Dutch side) |

Is it a roller or a bunk trailer? :) |

Seems like about twice what it should be for a boat like that. If that's right, it sure would cut down on where you could keep that thing. My next boat is going to have zero exterior wood. Even that cap rail is too much for me anymore. I've had enough. Steve |

Both the Navigator and the Egg Harbor had zero exterior wood, but after a while, it was just too "white". Ended up doing the cockpit deck and the gunnels with FlexiTeek, just to break up the white look. Eisboch |

All you have to do is clean it, and you can use a powerwasher. A powerwasher on teak takes off all the varnish and you're left with grey wood. Steve |
