Perhaps I should clarify.

Mostly I'm looking for ideas. Models or pictures of boat interiors that
work. Places to start. I know most of the structure, what I can remove and
what I can't.

For instance: The dinette is this monstrous 6 seater that takes up about
50% of the salon. Big, stuffy, moldy cushions that fold down into a bed.
I've thought about tearing it out and replacing it with a couple of comfy
chairs that would fold out to a bed. I'll never see more than 2, maybe 4
people on the boat and this huge, ugly mass has to go. Problem is, I need
some ideas on what it could look like.

I have a 1972 Fraser fibreglass sailboat. The interior is huge and has
potential, the mechanics all work, but the interior is from 1972 also. The
layout is just so wrong. I have hit a wall. I know I want to gut the
interior, I just don't know where to start or where to go from here. I
don't want to spend a great deal of money, so would rather not hire a
shipwright.

Please any ideas could help me.


If you are in a yard or marina walk around and tell people that you
are looking for ideas and ask if you can have a look at their boat.
Most people are proud to show you their boat.
