John,
I'll make a few comments on projects that I have done....
Companion way doors, if you want to redo the veneer, look at
woodworkersource.com.
Awesome place to get teak veneer to go over existing or new panels...
Cockpit cushions- I can not recommend Bottomsiders.com highly enough.
Awesome cushions.
ACDC panel- I went with Blue Seas, no regrets
Air Conditioning- Webasto, no questions! Awesome product, no problems.....
Deck hardware- Guarhauer, without a doubt!

Hello everyone
I am about to begin a complete refit on what is the best boat for my
purpose ( sailing around Cape Code as we get ready to do the Caribbean
1500 in 2019), after looking or sailing at least 100 boat over the
past 4 years. The boat is in better than average condition, I will
post pictures later.
I have the work broken down into three categories, and would
appreciate any recommendations and reorganizing of the list.
Thanks
