Thank you for the welcome and the information...your boat looks GREAT!!! I have the traditional layout as well - one question if you don't mind. I want to remove the table and then place beadboard over the existing laminate of the bulkhead...and being I don't have a lot of $$$ now to spend, do you think I could just tack the beadboard on the existing bulkhead laminate? I think I can get the beadboard that is only slightly thicker than paneling... Any suggestions on how to bring back the luster to my interior teak accents? Tung oil??? I've attached some pictures if you're interested in viewing. thank you! Lance

I suggest you go to: http://www.catalina27.org/ the website of the International Catalina 27/270 Association. Lot's of good information there. In particular, the FTP Gallery has photos of lots of things owners have done on their boats. In the Deck-Hull-Keel section BayBird #14 shows the cockpit speakers I added; #15 shows the Bimini I installed. In the Interior section is a series of photos, beginning with bybrd02.jpg, that shows my slide-out double berth (starboard setee conversion) and how it's supported. Also, in this section is a photo (head_lav_2.jpg) showing the head bulkhead after painting it white, and, the replacement of the sink counter (cheezy fake teak laminate) with white Formica. I did the galley countertop with white Formica also, but I don't have photos posted. And for your alcohol stove, if you don't already know about A&H Enterprises, go to their website: http://www.packstoves.com/ and contact them for parts. That is, if you want to rebuild, rather than replace, your old stove.
