Re: Stus-List Holes in my bulkhead

Can you find a port that will cover all the existing holes? It's nice
having an opening port there.

(And please trim the excess list bits before posting, it cuts down on Stu's

Hahah thanks Martin.  Sounds like filling the holes with similar wood is the 
way to go.

Re: Stus-List Holes in my bulkhead

[Martin DeYoung via CnC-List]

Ryan,

If I had similar openings in a bulkhead on Calypso I would follow my usual 
overkill route and:
Square up the edges of the openings
Fab an opening filler from similar plywood
Taper the edges of the opening and the filler piece
Filled epoxy the interface between the opening and the filler
Epoxy/glass cloth/tape around edges
Fair with epoxy/micro balloon or similar easy to sand filler
Prime/paint

It is easy for me to go overboard on this type of project now as Calypso’s 
interior resembles a fiberglass repair shop.  The extra mess and dust would not 
be noticed.

Subject: Stus-List Holes in my bulkhead

Hey listers,
Now for my question:
Next to my companionway I have holes in that bulkhead.  They are from where a 
previous owner had installed a tangled series of add-on electrical panels.  I 
removed all of them when I rewired the boat.  Alas, now I have holes.

I thought about buying some beadboard and covering it up - cutting the 
beadboard to go around the chart table, around the motor cooling system, and 
around the companionway, but that just seems like a lot of messy work.
Does anyone have any ideas for covering these holes?

The best idea I currently have is cutting some plywood, sticking it in the 
holes, fairing it with wood filler and painting it, but I figured I'd ask here 
first as you guys always come up with something I hadn't thought of.
PS. - A friend suggested I hang some paintings... my wife nixed that idea.

P.P.S - Before anyone freaks about having an electric heater on the stove:
My stove is completely unhooked and there is no propane on the boat.  I'll
be buying a new stove soon.

Stus-List Holes in my bulkhead

[Ryan Doyle via CnC-List]

Hey listers,

I've mentioned a couple times on here that a previous owner (two owners
ago) completely reconfigured the interior of my boat.

As a result, I was able to buy her back in October with a good survey for a
song... because - let's face it - most people don't want to buy a boat with
an owner-customized interior.

C&C purists will probably gasp in horror, but I think the interior layout
works.  The galley area is now the entire port side, and the custom
starboard bench pulls out to make a nice-sized bed.  The only downside is
there's kind of nowhere to sit and eat.

The reason I explain all of this is my interior I get lots of questions
when I post pictures.   These photos were taken when I was installing all
my new LED interior lighting, so it's a bit of a mess.

Go ahead and stare at my disfigured interior...

panels.  I removed all of them when I rewired the boat.  Alas, now I have
