> Thanks for the input. it really helps a lot. Was the color of your
interior a dark color - sort of like an old victorian home? Mine is. Modest
sanding and varnishing has brought out the natural color of the wood on the
cabinet doors. The next step is the main bulkhead, the head and the v-berth.
I think the wood is solid and not a veneer, but only closer inspection will
sort that out. Right now we are having more snow in northern michigan -
feels like a blizzard but it is just some more snow - so I will have to wait
till tommorrow to inspect in more detail. I am hoping that if lightening the
color will make the boat brigter and bigger.
