The Awlgrip was offered instead of gelcoat at no cost. There was little color difference compared to the gelcoat Kingston grey. Awlgrip is superior in terms of stain-resistantance, and has better longevity. Gelcoat is easier to repair and has better water resistance. In the final analysis, I went for Awlgrip.
Very soon.
Awesome - so exciting - nice to have a date certain for departure.
What is a (Breville) smart oven, please? Electric of some sort, I'm guessing? Not sure I'd ever go for induction, but maybe. But what's the reason to do that, other than get rid of propane? I like gas/propane for cook tops, but electric for my ovens at home.
It`s an Air Fryer type oven. Though I think even conventional fan ovens, are of the nature of an air fryer.
Off topic, please forgive me. Do you think propane on a boat is a risk? I know many have been doing it for a long time. I love gas for cooking, but was thinking, since we'll be getting a decent sized genny for the HVAC anyway, probably best to avoid the risk and hassle of having to refill. Heck, if we got an electric dingy motor, we'd only have to deal with diesel. Did any of this factor into your decision?
Actually, no. We don't think propane on board is a substantial risk as safeguards are required on modern recreational vessels. The decision was made more on the availability of propane refills on extended cruises in less populated places up north in the PNW. The 46 comes standard with a 9kw genset, so no real worry about using the appliances when on the hook. Thanks for asking.
I think the “what is it” has been answered…
Hi Jeff - would you replace a microwave with the Breville? Microwaves take up a lot of room - we use ours for coffee reheating and warming oatmeal...
Can't speak for Jeff, but we use ours for a bunch of things, although heating liquids isn't one of them. It does replace a lot of different gadgets in the kitchen, including the oven. Here's a screen shot of ours, it'll show you all the things it does.
Thanks - helpful!
Hi. No.
