nice work!
- i love the fridge/freeze location. so, how do you cook? what do you cook on?

- i love the v-berth "big bed" concept. do you always keep the big bed in place? do you ever use the table?

Absolutely gorgeous woodwork!

I wish I had the patience and ability to do these things.

Kudos!

I like to cook in the cockpit. I have a BBQ stove. I would like to get one of those swivel bracket stoves.
I don't use the table. The bed is permanent. There is lots of storage space under the cushions.

Great woodwork you made it a great place to be.

Noticed in you photos that you put a nice wood plate on the step and was wondering how you finished it?

Our 99X has a ladder not the bump step, does anyone know if that was a mid year change or something. Or maybe my X isn’t a 99 like I thought. Hmmmm………..

Thank you. It's made form Koa wood and it has two coats of Varetaine(?) Also, inside that step is where I installed the Fluxgate compass for the Autopilot

Beautiful work, beautiful wood.
I think I would have put a valve on that thru hull though, so the macerator pump or tubing could be worked on or replaced with no danger of spillage in the boat.

One thing that's nice about getting people to look at mods is that every now and then someone can add a slight this or that and voila...a popin modification. Thanks for the insight.
