GordMay, thanks for theresponse and the linki. ts a bit of a treatise to get through though. The vapor barrier on the "outside only" is confusing to me. If cold damp air from the interior fridge...

Re: Fridge and freezer refit with vacuume panels

SailingUnity-we’re you using the same panels and if so, what was your impression of the panels? Vapor barrier paint makes me wonder if just rolling epoxy on the foam faces would suffice?

Re: Reinforcing a keel with a deep sump

Thank you everyone for the feedback-it’s been clarifying. I think the upshot is this: this particular design is problematic to haul on anything but a proper travellift. That’s a bummer in the sense...

Can a Garmin P79 support a Raymarine DSM300?

Re: Reinforcing a keel with a deep sump

Pete, I would estimate 16 ft.³. It’s a deep long chasm. The boat displace is 22,000 pounds, so I would not want to add a ton more weight down low. How thick would the concrete need to be? How do you...
