Looks beautiful Mike. I like the vinyl for the bottom and sides, what kind of machine did you use?

Just used an old Kenmore sewing machine, heady duty needles and strong thread.

Very nice Mike.  That is a job I hope to get my wife working on soon. I have enought to do with my structural changes.
 
Your boat is looking very ship shape below decks. :-)

I'm trying something new for an icebox. My built in ice box doesn't keep things cold very long. The 16 quart igloo cooler I used for this is great, it takes days for ice to melt in it.

I placed the cooler at the bottom of the tall locker at an angle to allow for easy access. There is some storage behind the cooler and I added a shelf for additional storage. The cooler was a tight fit, I had to remove the door to get it in. I may use ice packs instead of ice, then I won't have to worry about getting removing water from the melted ice.

I just installed a marine a/c in the old ice box compartment. That ice box never keep ice very long anyway. Got it working just before the heat of the summer. A King Air marine A/C, 12K BTU.

Nice work Mike!  You certainly have the heat beat, or, at least you're trying.
