I am replacing the panels. My window leaked and the plywood panels thart were viynal covered were rotten. I thought that it was a delaminated hull but it is just paneling glued to the walls. There are globs of a epoxy putty that holds the panels on. In places there is 1/2" of space between the hull and panel. I am adding insulation and had to use spray foam from the can to do the sides. I am going to use 1/2" sheet for the ceiling part and paint it all white. I plan to add LED lights in both white and red.

The 3gm Yanmars came in the boat, so they are starting to show a little age. They are good motors tho. They'll push it about 10 knts wide open, I use just one for cruising speed of around 7 knts.

Got any pics of the project?

Hi Rick, No still chugging along with the old ones. I have 27 hp, 3 cyl, yanmars in mine. Doing a major main cabin overhaul right now.

Captain Rick,

What design is that wooden boat on your photos? Is it a Herreshoff design? It looked very similar to the boat they are restoring at the museum in Bristol, RI.
