Interior Design of a Viking 23
Hello Everyone
Well we've got the electrics sorted out on our Viking 23 narrow beam and now we are looking at the interior. The previous owner covered most of the sides and roof with a thick plastic wallpaper type of covering. I intend to renew the roof with tongue and groove. Has anyone got pictures or know of a web site that shows how things are finished off inside. We particularly want to know how the underside of the gunwale is covered. At the moment it has badly joined plastic wallpaper and long bolts protruding from it (the handrail on the outside). Many Thanks Philip & Joan |

Many Thanks Philip & Joan I do not believe you'll want to use tongue & groove in your boat. When wood absorbs any moisture it swells. T&G, because of its nature has no direction to swell so buckles instead. The point is you use a lap joint with a small gap; then when the inevitable moisture gets in the wood it swells at the ends and not the middle. This taken from a rather long background in such endeavors.grin -- -=The answer is simple...send pretzels to the Whitehouse!=- MonteP "Against stupidity, the very gods themselves contend in vain." - Friedrich von Schiller |
