Commander 26 Re Build

[Maxpri]

The headliner was torn out years ago when they did an engine swap. The original was your standard white arborite style. The rest of the interior is teak, in nice shape.

I have a ton of recessed lighting that's going in it with a dimmer and individual push buttons per light.

Was thinking to do the shower and the bunks in the teak and holly also.

First pic is the venture ceiling as of now


Only picture I can find on Google with a teak and holly ceiling is this one

What kind of boat is it?

Built by Yamanaka in 1983. 35 x 12.5 ex gillnetter. Maybe I'll put a thread up. Didn't document the refit hardly at all. Sorry Bart, not trying to hijack your thread.

Shhh.. that's definitely not a 40inch fish finder

Umm me! You could actually carry enough ice on that bad boy. Definitely steaming out at night or 1am and drifting overnight with her.

Love the bbq. You could be smoking fish at the same time as roasting a pig on that deck.

@Sttr what are your bbq plans? Time to add more projects to your project

The Traeger works money on this long trips

Last year we smoked a brisket all the way to desolation

Strr is going to need a BBQ

Is the deck fiberglassed to the hull on Commanders? Another step to make it bullet proof.Would give Ron something to do in his spare time.

Yeah, while waiting for a pod

No it’s not, it rides up the gunnel on the side, front is to the cabin, rear rides up the stern. And then 4 posts down
Great point , now that I think about it , it seems the deck put a lot of pressure on the cabin housing, made a few weak spots.
Will post a few pics of that area

Sttr posted this at the start of the build. Shows the deck and hull are glassed. The 30’s are the same.

Thanks , sometimes the questions are confusing to me but it’s all making sense!

Impressive,not many builders do that.

With sooooo many things on the go, I haven’t really thought about it. For cooking purposes, I’m thinking of propane, flybridge holds a 20 lbs tank. If I choose propane I will try to incorporate it into other things, I think stove will be gone and microwave in its place with a propane burner over top of it. Every time I took a bbq on my other boat it was a pain, mostly I didn’t like the little propane bottles fly around, maybe run a propane line from flybridge to the back?
I haven’t shopped around for bbq yet. Not even sure of all the options out there, for me mounting will be key
