Some love'em, others think not.
Still others think the factory bridge could use some customization:

All pretty valid thoughts.
In any case, glad to see the Roamer flag being carried high in Scandinavia.
Now, about that "extra" flying bridge - when's it going on eBay and how much?
You could definitely get a good (wooden) mast and set of rooftop hand rails with the proceeds.
Cheers!

You have a Roamer. Why should the Atlantic Ocean be a problem?

That is a good one, great engines and great range.

I have gotten aluminum window frames made for my Roamer and now on to getting a welder to install. I am seriously thinking of put aluminum over the salon also and getting rid of the fiberglass. Anyone do this will replacing the windows? I am thinking of putting a hatch in so if I want to replace any things I don't have to take it all apart just pull the hatch.

I am getting anxious to get the window tracks, going to have middle sliders with the back fixed as it is today. Major difference will be the aluminum frames.

[q240z]

Funny you should mention the framed windows in the salon. We're about a month or two from putting windows in and I've spent a good, solid half-hour staring at the gaping holes where the windows used to be, trying to envision how aluminum would work. I've even considered vinyl frames, since the extrusions are very similar.

Since there are no problems in this area on my boat, I had planned to just use Hatteras window tracks. They hold up and function much better and smoother than the plain plastic stuff that Chris Craft used.

What did you have in mind for your side windows?

some picture nice wodenboat made in sweden

[Shangri-La]

The cabin windows on both sides have been removed. There is a lot of rot on the starboard side that has to be repaired.





The following pictures shows part of the canvas/vinyl covering and the fiberglass engine room air intake removed.

That is an awful lot of wood in your metal boat. Progress is looking good, though.

[Shangri-La]

The vinyl/canvas cover over the top of the cabin has been completely removed to allow the wooden top to dry out over the winter, then it will be fiberglassed over. In a future phase of our renovation, the vinyl cover over the cockpit will also be removed and fiberglassed over when we redo the cockpit windows. Notice how much room there is to work under the shrink wrap structure built over the boat.

Erik the person that is overseeing this project (John Winter) is a professional yacht designer and builder. I have full faith that he knows what he is doing and has much better ideas than I do on how to fix it correctly. He used to be a project architect with Chris-Craft in Sarasota, Florida and several other builders before he went on his own.

Seeing the complexity in this project and not knowing how much damage that had to be repaired until we pulled it apart, I hope you the best on your project.

[Shangri-La]

Still a little on the cool side to do any work on the boat.
