£22k for a kitchen? Pah, you wouldn't get away with so little with my SWMBO /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Cost and ease of reffitting internal joinery?

Agree entirely. Sunseeker in particular went through a phase in the late 80's early 90's when they were fitting their interiors with white or off white woodwork. Whilst it might have been fashionable at the time, it doesn't harf date the boats now which is a pity 'coz, as you say, the exteriors still look reasonable modern
There is an outfit who advertise in the back of the motor boat mags from time to time who seem to specialise in refurbing boat interiors particularly Princesses. I can't find them on Google though. IMHO you have to be careful what you spend though 'coz you're unlikely to get back what you spend when you sell the boat

Agree, though I think you would recoup a little of what you spend its more about making the boat pleasant to live with.
It is likely to make the boat easier to sell surely, if not at a higher price.

I agree with being careful about what you spend here.
I mean, when you get a new boat, car, house, wife, it's natural to think you're gonna live happily ever after and never stray. So you dump all your hard earned cash into it and never look at another boat, car, house, wife until.....
In my case (with the boat) I've spent a fair few quid on it over the last 2-3 years, doing the updating thing IE upholstery, decking, carpets etc and now am thinking I might want a change /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
Best advice given to me (but not taken of course /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif) was to enjoy it for what it is, you'll soon want to move on/up/out.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about scrimping on the important stuff, like maintenance, nav gear etc, being stingy here will actually lose you money.
The interior stuff is very much a question of taste - what rocks your boat don't mean it's gonna do the same for the next lucky owner.
Spend the money on diesel - or a better boat in the 1st place (easy to say, I know)

You can see where the hull compromises the cabin floor, just where you stand at the galley.
Remember looking at these a few years ago and was one of the reasons I decided against - that and older boats with older outdrives.
Quick though. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's a perfect candidate jez. A good joiner with proper gear and varnishing/lacquering skills would do a great job on that. As you say, keep the carcasses and change the doors/drawerfronts and the bullnose lengths, and maybe some avonite for the worktop. If you just removed the cream bits and said "copy these" I think you'd be well under £4k. The guys I linked to (Howard) would do that no problem and they'd do a great job.
As someone else already suggested, do it in veneered MDF (more stable) not solid hardwood. They buy in the veneered board then apply veneer or lipping to the cut edges in the joinery shop. They do a perfect job of that using the right glues and clamping techniques. For the cabin door I guess they'd laminate it up to the right thickness then lip the edge
Well worth doing this imho

Oi! You should see the appliances bill (4 ovens, including one of them there professional gaggenau oven, 2 dishwashers, eek), granite from California, and the 16inch touch screen control for everything incl the curtains, lights, heat/airco, cameras, music...). And a big cummins autostart generator to power it all automatically if there's a power cut while you're trying to make your beans on toast plus lead-acid battery UPS for the computer side of things
Good job there isn't a recession. Oh.. [--word removed--].. wait a minute..

This is what £11k got me from Poland, solid everything, and they send a man from the factory to measure up and three guys two months later to fit it. Very nicely made and totally custom done. Mind you I did order four of them /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Hi Jez,
just Googled this lot.
Cabinet makers
Good idea, but light wood is good advice. You know my boat, (well the outside anyway) it has light wood and I think it helps take a few years off compared to the dark wood used in the Sealine's I almost boaught at the time.
Cheers

Pah, where's the Italian marble floor and fecking great big AGA thingy? Autostart gennie is well worth having if like us, you get power cuts regularly. I've recently bought an ex Army gennie just for this purpose but I haven't had it wired in yet. Do you need a special permission to wire it into the mains for autostarting and can a standard leccy man do the job?
