Work continues in the cabin. Finished the built in cabinet. I also did the vberth bulked in mahogany and a new headliner. Corian tops came in they have been installed. I had to make a pedestal for the table. Had some aluminum laying around worked perfectly. Most of the trim installed. I am ordering shafts this week would be nice to get going on engine install. https://imgur.com/gallery/lPDd7M9

Damn nice work.

Beautiful floating panel cabinets.
Cabin 6mm (?) veneer head liner is an apocalypse!
The head like in the 30.
Im waiting to see the settee finished.
A lot of patience, a lot of trips to the boat with the carpenter...
Congrats!

Excellent.

I like it, the finished product should be great.

Really really beautiful. That takes a lot of skills and time.

Thanks guys! I am going to make another post soon Over three years later and still plugging away!

This is going to be a really nice boat.

Nice work - love the wood.

How heavy are those slides rated for the yeti? Those coolers are heavy and once you put weight in them get even heavier, never mind the any movement when on the water

The slides are rated for 265lbs the cooler dry weighs 23 pounds it’s only a tundra 45. 10 pound bag of ice and 24 beers is 24 pounds around 57lbs total. Should be ok I hope if not will make a nice tackle station.

Love the yeti on slides, simplicity at its best! The pedestal is also amazing!!!

Nicely done. Very, very nice

If you drop off of a 4 foot wave into a 4 foot trough (buoyant as the 31 is) you're going to generate more than 265 pounds of force.

I believe the rating is for when fully extended, retracted it should be several times that rating.
Hopefully people can wait till after running in 4' seas to grab a beer.

I'm sure you thought of it, but if not consider a good way to secure that door and/or track...hate to see that filled cooler sliding in and out in seas. It would really shake up that beer...


I'd be more concerned about people putting weight on the cooler when extended, whether trying to get around, falling into/onto.
If you ask why...I have real heavy duty tool cabinets here. Seems they make great leaning posts too. Guy opens a draw full of heavy cutting tools...lays his stuff down on top, than hangs on open draw as he peruses the items within.

Carl I agree about people will lean on it for sure. We will see how it works out. The slides lock in the closed ,half way out,and fully open positions. There is a lever on the end that must be depressed to open an close. They have a pair with a heavier rating if needed.

Never heard of slides with stop positions.
Had I known it would have made my life a lot easier.

I wish I knew earlier!
Thanks Snipe.
