Just used an old Kenmore sewing machine, heady duty needles and strong thread.

Very nice Mike. That is a job I hope to get my wife working on soon. I have enought to do with my structural changes.
Your boat is looking very ship shape below decks. :-)
I'm trying something new for an icebox. My built in ice box doesn't keep things cold very long. The 16 quart igloo cooler I used for this is great, it takes days for ice to melt in it.

I placed the cooler at the bottom of the tall locker at an angle to allow for easy access. There is some storage behind the cooler and I added a shelf for additional storage. The cooler was a tight fit, I had to remove the door to get it in. I may use ice packs instead of ice, then I won't have to worry about getting removing water from the melted ice.
I just installed a marine a/c in the old ice box compartment. That ice box never keep ice very long anyway. Got it working just before the heat of the summer. A King Air marine A/C, 12K BTU.
My new bimini top that I sewed myself out of some left over sunbrella.
Shade! Cooler! A/C!
Have a great relaxing summer!
with a bit of sailing thrown in for good measure.:cool:
Nice work Mike! You certainly have the heat beat, or, at least you're trying.
