New project to an old thread

Anyone still have their boats on this thread?

I am about to do this to my boat in order to create a queen size bed, and separate head and shower rooms, and loads more storage. Not to mention the deck space!!!!!!

Hard core MT 34 DC owners might find it a bit tough, but watch this space!

Greetings,
Our previous boat was a 34' MT DC with the stairs, sliding hatch as previously mentioned BUT as I recall, the stairs were positioned amidships (directly inline with the keel) and I really don't see any way to position a double bed without infringing on stair access. Never mind the hanging locker and head/shower door.

Hmm, I have a queen in my 36’ MT sundeck. It even has 2 built in night tables. Is this not the norm? It does not look like a refit.

Sorry, I should have included the current boat design which is as per the standard 34 DC.

Essentially I am going to cut off the aft cabin and build a sundeck model!

So here is the idea for the interior layout.

Dare I say this..... but comments welcome!

Seriously though, I am keen to get peoples thoughts before I cut into the boat in a pretty major way. Keep in mind that I have the skills to undertake this job. I have also spent 5 years getting to know and love my boat, upgrading all the time, so I am not interested in selling and looking for another boat that perhaps already has this layout.

For those of you who are familiar with this type of boat, the forward two compartments, head on STB and hanging locker on Port will remain in place.

Large water tank currently located under stb berth will be located under new bed towards midships, small water tank currently under port bed will be located under the new cupboard on stb aft of Head. Midships location of large water tank and outboard location of small water tank will provide balance.

One issue I may encounter is head room in the shower stall. I need to take some measurements on the weekend.

All just simple concept for now.....

Mark 2 for interior layout, smaller shower stall, but more practical and would have a better symmetrical ascetic.

Also there is enough head room in shower stall with this version.

I asked that question because, do you need 2 showers? I ran the shower line from the forward cabin to the galley. Not because I needed another sink, because I have space for either a dishwasher or combo washer/dryer. If there is not enough head room for the shower, you may want to consider something like this. Besides, it’s highly unlikely 2 people would shower at the same time in 2 different heads. Just a thought.

Does anyone know what the width of the door to the aft cabin is on a 34 MT DC? I am purchasing one and trying to figure out what I can or can't get down there.

What mattress can you recommend for sleeping in the boat? I think innerspring will be good and inexpensive, what do you think? Here I found some variants with good firmness, and I need to choose the model and size. What mattresses do you have? Thanks for any advice!

I swapped out our innerspring for a sleep number with 2 adjustable sides and it is awesome for both of us. It is also light and easy to get in and set-up. I find that I change my desire for a very firm to slightly firm based on different activities I have been doing and how sore I am it allows me to sleep perfectly now matter how achy my back was going to bed.

That's what I have, a sleep number. Sounds like exactly what I am going to do. Thanks!
