RE: Sea Ranger 47

If you search my earlier posts you will find my swimgrid extension, from about 21 in deep to 34".

I have recently redone the galley counters with granite, added quilted Stainless panelling behind the diesel stove and flat SS on the fridge.

The windows, I removed the inside frame, then the track and glass, cleaned out the wet wood, repacing as needed, but making sure there was no exposed plywood, covered with epoxy, then new tracks and put it all back together. The wet veneer is never going to come back, and knowing that, I destroyed the stained parts, to get behind it to the wet plywood and make sure it was all gone. Then, due to the now uneven surface, a sheet of 1/4 in teak over the whole piece, from the floor (Port side, saloon) or shelf (Stb side, saloon) or edging (bedroom, port side). I haven't done the head or Stb side, bedroom, but hope to soon. Getting the cut of the top of the replacement teak to fit tight to the frame around the window was the biggest challenge.
