I must be crazy...instead of trading in and getting one nice 455DA or a similar boat, I have just decided to complete overhaul my 1990 390 EC.
First I had to check if the hull was still in good condition. I had to open up the floor to get rid of all the foam that was soaked up with some 80 gallon of water coming form the shower and a punctured tank.
Beside the rotten foam, the situation was not too bad. Furniture are fine and water only seeped in the central and port compartment. No water from the addictional tank I installed under the stateroom bed.
Also considering that my CATs only have some 150 hr I decided to go on....
The situation is now the one you can see in my pics. We opened up the whole floor and got rid of all the foam. I have now so many more underfloor bins to store wathever I want! I will cover the floor in wood and you can see that we are now creating the lids.
Saloon:
Head (I will now place the shower sump underneath the head's floor and not the passageway)
guestroom:
stateroom:
I hope it could be useful for anybody venturing in a restoration project and I hope to get some suggestion and comments from you all!
That' s all for today...ciao!!!
