I understand! Do you also have a see-ment pond?

Mike, the final product looks great.  I'm inspired. Thanks.  Was at the boat yesterday doing some maintenance things and spent some time thinking about how I could do some drop in modules that would look permanent but would be reversible if I or any future owner would want to do that. I've got a plan.  Plan would include keeping both settee berths at a full six feet.  plan would also include HPL and a hinged extension on the back of the lower step lift out bulkhead to use it as a cabin table.  Plan would also include installing heavy duty drawer slides in that lower step compartment to slide out the ice box.  Plan would not require tear out of any of the existing cabinentry, so every aspect fully reversible without a trace if need be.  The only problem is sailing season has started for me so not sure I want to fool with it until next winter.

81 degrees here today.

Thanks.  Yeah, I am racing the ice melt here in Wisconsin.  My project list is way too long.  I went through the list and assigned "A", "B", "C" to each item to decide which I really wanted to accomplish before the season begins.  I know that once the water becomes soft again that the projects won't progress very well.

I agree with keeping these types of changes in our trailer-sailors drop-ins.   Even though I may like this change in my 19, the next owner may look at it and wish it was never installed.  That is why my galley is a complete drop-in setup. 

Right now I am busy refinishing all the teak and making up a couple new wood pieces for the cockpit.  A line hanger and a lunch anchor mount under the port lazarette cover and a drink/binocular holder to be attached to the front of the gas tank cover/seat.

Mike, Fantastic work! Love it. Looks factory and well thought out.

Mike:
   If you had a hankerin' to, you could make these and sell 'em to other 19 owners. In your spare time, of course. And you could offer the ping pong table option as well. Just think of the possiblities!!
   Seriously, very nice job. You are a craftsman.

Thoughts here..looked at this carefully and went with mounting on top of the locker, not in front. More legroom and less chances of snagged sheets. Anyway $.02..make it $.04 including tax and collective bargaining

Really great design and craftsmanship.  Where do I place an order?!
