we built the tackle boxes/draws. Got teak from the local exotic lumber store. Used the starboard as the template, cut and refaced the draws. I really makes a big difference for the fit and finish of the boat. We now have an awlgrip dark blue paint job, teak cabinet/draws and synthetic teak. (Also added the Garmin 740SV GPS in place of my prior Furuno finder).

tadel001 - did they also cover your cockpit drawers? Or was that done in a different way?
Happy wife happy life (aka new electronics guilt free)!

She got nice interior carpets and new bolsters last season. On a $$ basis she's WAY ahead of me! :)

I'm also working on the installation of a new hidden HDTV for the salon.
