Re: Galley Counter Top

Gave this a lot of thought when we were re-building DIRT FREE. We decided on granite because we could put a hot frying pan on it and no cutting board required ..... just sweep everything into the undermount sink.

Beautiful job! How big of a weight penalty, new vs old?

Re: Galley Counter Top

Boatpoker, how thick is the granite? Did you lay it over the old countertop?

Re: Galley Counter Top

Has anyone tried granite tile? We're looking at redoing the counter on our Catalina 30. I'm thinking it might be easier than replacing the entire top.

Re: Galley Counter Top

Well, I started this thread so I guess I can post at the end of it. Here's what I installed, and I love it. Blood wood with a custom made under counter sink.
