1. Wife wants to do away w/ the wood finish on berth table & also ice chest (which means the door trim too). Any suggestions? White would probably be the safest color choice, but dont know how to finish.
2. I want to remove the current transom brass water dumps for the Gil exhausts. I think i found some on cpperformance, "Dual 3/4" NPT Polished Stainless Water Discharge Fitting". Does that sound like the right item?
3. Going to replace the pitot too. Looking at pics i took, seems it has a 1/8" pitot to a 1/4" adapter back to a 1/8" hose fitting. Not sure what the previous owners did. Besides fittings, does it make a difference on hose size? the current hose is brittle so i was going to replace it anyway. Is 1/8" the normal size?
4. What would you call these things? (see attached pic). Going to put new ones on & will call Cig next week to see if i can just buy them w/out the rest of boat attached.

Regards #1 - I have seen pictures of people who have had the wood trim redone in white fiberglass. I think that is your best bet. The table and the cooler top looked really nice in the few pictures I have seen, some with Cig Logo's emblazoned in them, etc....
I dont think you will be happy with the results of it being painted.

I have contempleted taking the old lid to a glass guy and just having him make a mold of it and then making the glassed top an exact fit. Not sure of the cost of something like that, but I have seen a lot of the old TG's and Cafe's with those lids - maybe someone can chime in that has done it??

01-02-2009 01:50 PMOne word.....Plastic!!!! Alot of the older Cigs have had the teak replaced with plastic (Lexan). I know that LipShip has done a bunch, but I'm not sure if there is a kit for it. Give him a call.
I have the white lexan step plates on my boat. there are rubber strips in them spaced about every 3/4 inch to keep the slip factor down.

Michele (Mickey) and I had custom billet ones made through www.westcoastoffshoreunlimited.com Kevin (the owner) can powder coat or polish them and he can inlay them with the rubber inserts.
The lexan wood replacement is cool but if you're planning on Lip=Ship doing it, Phil needs the boat there. There's no pre-made kits.

Kevin also did a billet glove box with "born on 188th st." emblem in it. Also got me the chrome extinguishers and billet holders.

So who's got pics of the Lexon around the the cabin door where it use to be wood? I've gotta get rid of mine as well!

Lip Ship can fix you up. However, the wood is tough and can take the flex of hard rough water runs. The lexan will break if the boat moves any. Seen it happen on the way back from the Bahamas two different times on a Cafe.

Kevin at West coast offshore unlimited found them. Then he built the glove box around it. It's pretty trick the way he did it and though I can't remember the exact price, I know it wasn't too bad.
By the way, I actually like the wood in our cabin and around the entrance. I always loved the Playboys wood floors too.Making the best in the industry BETTER since 1990...LIP-SHIP Performance: 305-933-9988
