After the disappointment of discovering all the extra work we’ll have to do with the fiberglass repairs, it was really motivational to finally see some improvement on the inside of the boat. At this point I have most of the storage lockers deep cleaned and the front half of the boat cleaned. Because the boat was just sitting out in the hot sun baking in the humidity and also because of some water damage (superficial only) to the interior wood, the boat just looked dingy and gross. After a thorough cleaning and shining the wood up a bit with cleaner and wax, she’s really starting to look like the classy yacht she should have been! (The busted screen in the hatch isn’t helping her appeal. That’s on my list!)
Aside from the cleaning and whatnot, we also decided to remove the propane system from the boat. Jason wants an electric induction cooktop and it will be nice to have one less system to maintain, let alone one less system that can explode or kill us with gas. So we went ahead and ripped out the gas stove and microwave (cause it was gross anyway).
