So I was boat shopping today and went on a domestically built boat from the late '70s. A few things caught my eye, twice (double take).
1. The king bed in the aft cabin had been raised so that a full size front loading home washer and drier pair were installed underneath. Note to self: Don't fall out of bed!
2. A Sears home trash compactor from the 1970s had been installed near the galley. I don't think I have ever seen one installed in a house much less a boat.
3. The 3 main areas of the boat had permanently installed electric strip base board heat. I guess that was to help maintain a 50%+ load on the generator.
I'm sure some of you must have stories of the um.......unusual things you seen installed on boats.
