Re: 1981 56 wide body refit
This is a great thread and story. Thank you for posting it for us. I was very interested as I had made an offer on a 56 Wide Body that the broker sort of messed me over on. (always about the dollar). Anyway I am very happy with what I wound up with. I would like to know a few things. If you don't mind, what is the flooring you used? the other is about the alarm system, but I will go to your guy in Florida. Mine is ok, but I have the desire to understand it inside and out.

Re: 1981 56 wide body refit
Hey Bill, saw your video, only question I have is did you copy my cabinets or did I copy yours. Looks really good and I know how handy that hatch in the galley overhead is, I put one in also and took 2 generators out through it. Your varnish also looks fantastic. John

Very impressive and inspiring refit, especially inside the engine room! I have a 1989- 58’ Cheoy Lee motor yacht of similar layout but smaller aft deck. (I am in Trinidad- where the steel drum was invented! ) happy boating, restoring and pan-playing!

Re: 1981 56 wide body refit
Did you varnish your interior or was it already done . What did you use to clean the engine rooms?

Re: 1981 56 wide body refit
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. The finish was done with a spar urethane.
Engine rooms were scrubbed from floor to ceiling with a degreaser called Awesome which you can get just about everywhere. Works as good as the expensive ones for only dollars.Bill Willetts - Wilmington NC

How long does it take for you to get to the Wrightsville Beach drawbridge from your downtown Wilmington berth ? Regards , Edward
