Thanks! No we had our team of three: John from ShipShape boat fitters customed designed it to fit into the side wall of the boat. I spent a lot of time studying a lot of other Mac mods here on this forum and over the internet and after talking to John and my ideas he suggested using Starboard which he said is very strong, easy to work with, heat resistant and easy to clean. It gave us a nice white clean look and with one of the other boys there who worked on it they decided curves were far better to match the curves of the boat rather than straight lines. They SS wire was there idea as well and after trialing it during Stage 1 fit out I was so happy with it we added all through out the shelving. They will custom fit some more compartments dividers and some lower SS wire on the bottom behind stove and sink once we have used it over the next 4 days of sailing to make sure it fits to all our needs. To be honest don't know how they bent it but all I can say is that it is extremely strong.Azzarac wrote:That's just... WOW! Well done Kookasnook! Did you do the cabinetry yourself? How did you curve the wire so uniformly?

FYI, that goalzero system is on sale at Costco....and recently I spoke to a rep about the system when Costco was doing a roadshow....it's turnkey if it meets your needs. The matching solar panels are the hard panels and not the flexible panels that they sell. it is a lead battery not a lithium battery, but I understand that others have spared no expense to install lithium batteries in the system.
BTW their rechargeable lithium ion flashlight, though $70, is insanely bright and powerful and can be used to charge a mobile phone and they have a portable lantern, "lighthouse," that you can use to recharge a tablet/usb device, and is hand crankable if it runs out of charge. It can also connect to their "nomad" flexible smaller solar panel for a recharge.
