yup, there's ALWAYS more trim... :lol: not only do I have a tone to refinish on mine, i'm (foolishly?) adding more to the boat where there wasn't any before...

Re: Carver 2357 Montego rebuild

ok four new pieces made. one for a side piece, one for the face of the wall to cover a staple line, and two shelf fronts (see couple posts back with the new shelves) needed to trim them out with a piece that would also act as a lip.

When I decided to not re-use the jump seats, I disassembled them and saved all the wood (and aluminum) from them. Took two pieces, cut bullnose off one side and trimmed to width. Then cut a rabbet. I didn't want any surface showing attachment points other than nail holes which I will putty over so I figured a rabbet with glue would add extra strength since it will get some use when we are loading/unloading the shelves with 'stuff'. First coat one and I'm sure hoping this is the last four of the 12,862 pieces of trim...


(yes I know the rabbet cut is different depths had two different thicknesses of shelving material)

Re: Carver 2357 Montego rebuild

Decided to utilize the empty space behind the panels. There will be two shelves - the top one only about 3" deep but enough for glasses, shoes, etc. The bottom will be about 9" deep. Used the speaker hole as the starting place (they were slightly too big only had 2 and a half screw getting wood) and think the angles will match. Vinyl should ship today hopefully.

Re: Carver 2357 Montego rebuild

Head enclosure all done. All the trim back in, including the windows. How come no one told me taking them out was ten times easier than putting them back in. And how the heck did three pieces grow 1/2"?

Cushions for the berths should be done this week.

But a couple things I have to do so of I go. To the livingroom, where the carpet is. Making a snap in carpet letting get warmed up and relaxed from shipping where is got a bit deformed. I really get alot done when my wife is out of town.

Re: Carver 2357 Montego rebuild

remember this? Now:

Kind of hard to see but the top one has a 3" shelf and the bottom is 6", both carpeted.


only thing I forgot about is that with the cut outs the raw fiberglass is showing, so thankfully i have JUST enough carpet left to glue up to hide. Doing that today will get final pics hopefully tomorrow.

Re: Carver 2357 Montego rebuild

Got the new spot light in. The old one was an automotive 'jeep like' spot.

This one is remote control. Had to push back a bit to cover the old wire hole - some starboard cut to shape to cover old hole, then 4200 and mount.

also got the railing completely back on and sealed. today I'll wire up the light and put the bulkhead to the anchor locker back in.
