Sweet Ride!! And Some Cool Custom Upgrades...

This Boat Owner Loves Touring the Marshes in her Classic Looking Yacht! Bought new a bunch of years ago from Cranberry Island Boatyard, this Western Way 19 needed Just a Little sprucing up...

New Canvas Top, Sides and Aft Curtain by Salt Marsh Canvas... and

A little Buffing Out of the Topsides to get rid of some oxidation... (Gelcoat is a wonderful thing, it can get really shiny even after a lot wear and tear and exposure to the elements). Check out this test below - hold a ruler up to the Shiny Hull - How many inches on Your Hull?? We got a lot of Deep, Beautiful, Reflection Inches here...

Varnish Done Right is a Beautiful Thing.... (FYI: Epiphanes Wood Finish Matte here - not gloss - the owner's choice, the right choice, for this boat)...

...with the wiring properly hidden, yet easily accessible - new mahogany chase over the windshield and molded fiberglass covers in the corners (same textured gelcoat as the whole interior) ...

...and the plotter base swivels, so the Co-Pilot can navigate and the Helmsman can concentrate...

...And neatly adding a second battery with a dual circuit switch and combiner for longer lived house lights and starting insurance.
