[pbusanga]

Does anyone have any pictures of the teak folding door closing the cuddy off would like to see if i can have one made...thanks

What model boat??

 

[pbusanga]

i actually own an Osprey fisherman Pilothouse, which only uses a vinyl flap to cover the cuddy door, was hoping to get some ides for the teak accordian type door i have seen on the parkers ( i think the 2530 which has the flat door space like mine) and was hoping to get a better shot of the door open and closed and how it fits to see if i can adapt to mine...thanks

On vacation now but next week I will shoot you a pic of my door

are you not better off making one out of starboard? If you want one from teak i can make one but a lot easier and secure in plastic as well as no less to maintain......

Dale would approve of teak, even if it isn't a Parker. Here's a photo

Dan, I love that port side seat with room for storage and Plano tackle boxes.
Is that a factory item?
I've often thought of doing something like that on both sides...

No problem. 8)

Greetings, CAPT Kevin:

The console is a Parker factory option. In order to serve my purpose, I modified the basic console by adding the plano box, the console top attachments, seat cushions and (the biggy) designing, constructing, installing and finishing the base for the console to elevate it to the "working deck" level.

I previously had a bunch of jpgs posted under one of the forums (can't remember which) in the July -September 2008 timeframe.

Building the base to accomodate the console was a time-consuming exercise in planning, cabinet-making and fiberglassing, but the results were well worth the effort.

Regards,

Dan

Very nice. You can never have too much Plano tackle box storage. :wink:

I have considered building one like yours for the Admiral.
But on my side, rather than a seat, I think I would do a leaning pad.
I rarely use my seat (I lean against it). On the rare occasion when I sit, I could just sit on top of the pad.

Might be a winter project...

With these places you guys are referring to - can anyone produce replacement peices for all the wood trim on the boat? I have a 1991 21' Sport W/A (2110) that is a work in progress. I've committed to replacing all the trim/wood work around the helm over the summer and figured I'd either make some calls to local marinas or even take it down to one of the Amish wood working farms (they do amazing work at good prices).

Everything would need to come off and be replaced so if someone here can make exact fit peices that can be shipped and swapped out - that would be something that has my interest. I am talking about all the edge molding/framing up to and including a new cuddy door.

Any ideas?

An Amish woodworker could reproduce those pieces better than new... in wood or starboard.

Before you remove the trim, take detailed photographs of everything.
Then, as you remove the pieces, mark them by number on the backside with a Sharpie.
Make a diagram on paper and show where the numbers came from.

You'd be amazed how hard it is to get everything to go back correctly if you don't mark the pieces. :shock:

Since I am down in S. MD - I am not too far from many of their farms. I actually have a guy I've used for furniture (they build excellent TV cabinets, chest of drawers, etc. Given their proximity, I would likely just take them the boat. I bet they could turn it around in a few days (depending on schedule). At this point I think that would probably be the least costly approach and quite possibly could get me the best results.

I agree. Taking them the boat would be the best possible option.
