Since arriving in Southern California, Tuffy has been going through a lot of upgrades. She has a shower on the back deck now to rinse dive gear. She has a custom wood inlay new dining table, new galley and head faucets along with a water pump system. She also has a fresh water head (not so smelly!). All of the work done is done by Michael, no outside contractors are hired for any of the work. He's one talented husband (Cynde :-)

The dining table before:

The new dining table
Closed for more room in the galley

Table Open for Dining

The port window (square one) had been added to Tuffy somewhere along her lifetime. It was plastic, a square window in a round hole and did not open fully. Michael make a half window with slider that looks beautiful and really gets air circulating through the wheelhouse. It is also large enough for an emergency exit if necssary.

Old port window (the square one with wood frame)

New port slider and window.

The old wheel house door had been fixed with a piece of wood on the bottom portion.

Michael removed the old door and refinished it, replaced the lower portion with new exotic wood and replaced the window.

Tuffy's Old Galley

Tuffy's New Galley, minus the countertop, above the drawers is the stove (lift top) and to the right is the drop in fridge;-)



The Pantry! I LOVE IT. No more things stuffed on corners.


The woodwork is not complete, there is still a LOT of sanding to do to get the satin finish.






The new overhead, no more ugly stained fabric!
