Just an update. I removed all the teak, although i do like the look, I am more geared towards the practical use and maintance. So in went king starboard 1/2 white with new hinges. I spoke with the guy who will be doing the rewiring, and he said they would start it after the new year. I told him what i wanted and he said there would be no problem with having the doghouse hinge forward. I did not get a price range from him but he did tell me that all we would need were some new hoses for hydolic lines and some wire, as I already have everything else. He estimated 3 days start to finish. So I would figure not much more than 2K. Also the windows were ordered and should be installed before xmas. I do have one question that i know you guys can help me with. The anchor locker bulkhead which you can see in some of the previos pictures is junk. I don't mean you can see how crappy it is, just that you can see the bulkhead that i am talking about. The plywood core has the consistancy of a sponge. From looking at it, i think i can remove this piece with out having to remove the hull cap. Has any one had any expirence with this? I will post some pictures when the windows are in and then again when all wiring is done. Thanks for any help with the anchor locker thing.

You have to install the new one in "two" pieces [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Elijah- hey bud- if you get that anchor thing out in one piece would it be possible to get you to make a template of it for me???? Mine does not nor has it ever had one and i would like to put something in there just for s and g's. be happy to pay for any shipping etc- if you cannot get er out in one piece- no biggie! thanx- craig

Hey Craig, If she comes out in one piece, you bet I'll send you a template. I don't know when I will tackle this project but when I do, i'll let you know.

thanx dude [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I used to have a great pic of how I got my old rotton anchor locker out but I cant find it right now. I will tell you there was a sludge hammer in the photo. I was able to piece it together and make a template for the new one. I made my new anchor out of 3/8 inch starboard and I was able to flex it and get it in there without removing the deck cap. It's possible with a little work. There is a pic at the bottom of this thread

craig, i think it would be just as easy and only take a few minutes for you to make your own template (possibly out of cardboard, or whatever you like)

Just a few more pics. These are the first pictures i have had with me actually in her. MAN, I LOOK GOOD.
