Banged out another boat project this weekend!
We pulled out our rusting, barely functional 1979 Norcold fridge a couple weeks ago with a plan to convert the space into easily accessible galley storage. I'm pretty pleased with the results. I got a Tambour PVC door kit spec'ed for the opening size for around $200 shipped (Tape Ease Design 1), and made up some plywood shelves with varnished mahogany trim strips.
The cabinet is 37" tall, 23" wide, and 27" deep, so tons and tons of space for big pots and pans that we previously had to stick under settees and the like. There's a much larger second Norcold fridge that the PO installed (DE-0067 I think) which has proven plenty big enough for us.
