 Interior.

Both cabins, main and front one,  wood interior and  headliner 95% complete.

What was done in the boat interior?

+ Added flat locker under stove compartment.
+ Made starboard lockers over the settee top.
+ Duct work for A/C hidden inside the starboard top lockers to distribute cold/hot air in both cabins.
+ Ducts have button controlled flow redirect to switch which cabin gets more air.
+ Custom made wood air outlets with deflectors to distribute air more equally.
+ Custom made roulette type bamboo doors on all new lockers.

+ Replaced  cabin top side plywood skin. around the boat.
+ Re-built new cabinet in front cabin, and installed A/C unit in there.
