It is in the works, thanks. Hedley

more pictures, better rotation Hope this is better....:banghead:

Sorry Captain, I tried to fix this morning, but editing had timed out. From now on, I will hold the phone at portrait instead of landscape. In the meantime, if you are using a laptop, the bottom of all of my mistakes is on the right hand side of the picture. I just turned my screen.

Why I moved the whiskey cabinet This is the 14.5 cube fridge that has been covered in teak veneer. I moved the whiskey cabinet to make room for it and create the L shaped galley I was coveting.

Further refits On the subject of refitting, I changed out the two basin, undermount sink in the galley with an apron front from Ikea and a victorian faucet. The whiskey cabinet is in front of the former fridge space, now holding the dishwasher.

I know I am not the first to remodel the aft cabin and put a full size berth athwartship. I found 2 examples this week on Yachtworld. I may, however, be the only one to put in an adjustable bed. The head and knees go up and down. When Mother comes to visit, she cannot sleep laying down, so I...

Facing on Fridge is done I couldn't wait to post this, although I am still waiting for the hinges and drawer pulls, and have yet to start on the bulkheads for the sides of the fridge. I am not sure if I like the grain here, but it looks a lot better than it did in stainless. The thermometers...

Could you find the right size black rubber test tube stopper and glue it in there? You could put a furniture leg screw into the back of it, put that in your drill chuck and shape the stopper as if it were in a lathe.

My Rattan LF 750 I was going to get a scooter without pedals (stand up variety), but Local laws (NC) consider them a motor vehicle. I decided on this LF 750 and built a dockbox for it. 23 mph can be scary, but it stops fast and I keep the battery charging on board. I added the mirrors and the...

Saw this on Ebay: no reserve. What do you think...

After installing a larger fridge, I was listing to Stbd about 2 inches on the waterlines. I am currently putting five-pound concrete bricks in a space behind the Port step. I can reach all the way to the gunwales under the deck. I figure if my buddy and I can stand there at a combined weight of...

Good point on through-bolting. When I build out the sides of the cabinet, I will use 3/4 ply all the way to the glassed in joists in the overhead. (I was planning on insulating the entire saloon overhead anyway.) I will then through-bolt that to pads glued and screwed to the top of the fridge...

Thank you for the encouragement.

It is anchored by two brackets on the sole, two on the cabin bulkhead, and one at the top to the cabin wall.

Have you been on an Albin? This boat is on our dock. If I didn't already have my GB, I would be on this boat. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/1982-albin-trawler-8594705/

Loving our new fridge With the doors and drawers off, this bad boy slipped through the center opening window above the helm. I still need to build a cabinet around it, but the original whiskey cabinet became a galley island. I will post a picture of the butcherblock counter once it is in place...

Grand Banks 42 Headliner replacement I finished the overhead in the aft head. Pine painted with a gloss "boat" paint from Lowe's Home Improvement (Rustoleum brand). Insulated with 1.5 inches of foam first. Notice the blue masking tape: that is how I made a pattern for the foam. After peeling...

I want to try to bring a new refrigerator through the center windshield on my GB 42. Problem is, I forgot to measure the opening and I am 2 hours away. Does anyone have a tape measure and can help me out? Duane Hedley Hull #501 Patty

Here are some more pictures.

I wonder what other GB owners think of this hard top over the trunk cabin.

I second the bead board idea. I built a shanty years ago and laid bead board on top of my overhead joists. I then painted it all white and trimmed the bottoms of the joists with stained screen molding. It looked very boaty. adding a few stiffening joists to a sagging overhead would be simple...
