For interior space, sure...:-) But not for cost, maintenance, portability, etc...! cheers, John S. On 12/29/2017 07:16 AM, Thomas Buzzi wrote:

Looks sweet indeed! For a person of my height (6 ft 3 in), however, every inch of interior space is valuable, I wouldn't want to give up even this little bit. Some previous owner of my boat had put a bulky wooden box-surround around the aluminum compression post - one of my first mods was to get it the heck out of there.. :-)
cheers, John S.

Nice work, Brad, I too wanted that "wood look" on the boat to soften the "bleach bottle look" but rapidly found that on a boat the size of the Monty15 or Monty 17, AS-IS (mine now) the waterline disappears so one has added drag and the tendency to roll more to the boat as well as the beauty of natural wood. Two things Jerry warned about,especially if that extra weight is placed high in the boat. Some times it is best to paint in the features you want to look at while at anchor and forgo the real wood appeal. I also went from a Series 24 to a series 27 battery, another mistake. This size boat with its limited displacement will not tolerate a whole lot of extra weight. Fair winds, Tom B

Here fwiw is my little effort at it, for installing wood panels onto the cabin sides - M15, on page 8. http://nockamixonsailclub.org/sites/default/files/ TheCompassDecember2017.pdf
