Re: Cabin door?
 

I have a teak and tinted plexiglass door on my '85 and will probably be taking it off. It 's a p.i.t.a. to clean and oil the teak and I never close it anyway. And besides if someone were to break in they would do more damage than whatever they steal is worth.

8barrel,

I have a 73 also and have the same material as what you have under the dash. I thought about a door too; but I don't have the hatch front so there was no real point for me to do it. I made a cover out of plywood but haven't been brave enough to try it with starboard yet.

8barrel, lookin' at your pics, that's about same as mine when I got it...I just gutted EVERYTHING and put it all back fresh...keep in mind the panels under the dash SUPPORT the dash...when you remove the panels, have something to prop the dash up and whatever you permanently put back MUST be correct height to keep windshield closeing tight ;) ...

I know where a v-20 is sitting at a marina a buddy of mine owns. It isn't much good but for parts, if youre interested I'll ask if he will sell parts, knowing him he will tell me someone can have it for almost nothing.

i have most of the old frame out my 78.

Re: Cabin door?
 

Thanks for the replies. I think I am going to leave it without the door. I am just going to redo the panels under the dash. I still have to make a seatbox with some storage. Its been cold up here in the Northeast and I have the boat all wrapped up now.

I havnt been around much lately. I am going thru a divorce right now, so i got way too much on my plate now. We are getting along, so its not a nasty one. We are actually doing everything ourselves. No lawyers, they just mess everything up. Its still scary tho. I guess the Judge has the final say on everything.

I dont believe in Divorce, but a nice long boat ride with the them. ;D
