fit-out advice

[jaque]

Hello y'all...have recently bought me and the mrs a nice 50ft trad. She's a bit on the shabby side on the interior so I am looking for advice on re-fitting...Think I'm going to have to strip her back to get what we really want...anyone out there know of a good fitter who isn;t going to cost the earth?

Yes I wish you well, but seriously why not try yourself ? have you done any handywork at home ? The good thing is its easy to modify kitchen units etc from such as B and Q etc its not rocket science ask around and go to a few banters. Other stuff is all available such as shower trays etc just try to avoid chandlers as much as possible. plumbing is dead easy, I fitted a complete boat from a bare shell 10 years ago and it was ok and everything worked first time ....and no water leaks or probs with the lekctrickery, I even found a cash buyer when I came to sell it without a broker..................

Hope this helps, just dont listen to the doom and gloom some people may give you.........

thanks for the positive vibes and advice! not too bad with some DIY so will give that a go...think I'm going to need help with the electrics and sorting/checking out the engine room though...onwards and upwards..

My husband fitted out our boat to an acceptable standard and he is hopeless at diy. We did get help with the gas & electricity but there are plenty of people who can give advice.
