Hi,
new on here also, but thought I would comment.
we bought a second hand boat with a view to updating during the winter months.
Original thoughts were to re-do the galley, so started on that first.
Got carried away and ended up ripping the whole boat out,to reorganise completely, I can remember spending xmas day 2006 cutting out the old toilet holding tank (corr what a stink !!!)
Anyway, it took me 2 years (every spare minute)to get it to a finished state.
Got my pal,an engineer to make me a square that measured 4 foot by 4 foot, great for getting things straight.
just sold her and now waiting for the new one to be built by someone else !!!!!
Best of luck.
