Non Hatteras boat getting some love

[RP63]

My wife and I picked up this 1993 Viking 43C that was in good mechanical condition but was due some TLC and upgrading. Some of the major upgrades are....
1. Removed old electronics at helm and installed new.

Removed he washer and dryer and made a rod closet.

 

[RP63]

Removed bar top and made new one along with installing granite tiles on existing tops. Installed new sink and cook top.

 

[RP63]

Made a new bathroom sink counter top and installed new sink and installed tile and paint on the walls.

Looks nice and neat.

The only question is how the bathroom sink will hold water in a sea.

Looks like you do good work.

Tell me that's not a plastic thru-hull? I thought Viking quality was better than that.

Looks like he’s trying to shame us. Love what you have done especially the sink. Very very nice.

Thanks for the comments guys. I really do enjoy projects.

SKYCHENEY - I was surprised about the plastic thru hulls too but all of them above the waterline are plastic. They seem to be in really good shape for 25 years old.

I wanted to have a pedestal rocket launcher for the boat but those thing are expensive. So I went to J&S Cypress and purchased a Cedar board and made my own. Now this project was a lot of fun.

I used a portable map gas torch to pop any bubbles that would surface.
