Does anyone have a picture of their table or dinette. We bought our 77' without one. I have looked without suscess so I have to make one out of the teak I purchased It looks like it goes from bow to stern and not port to starboard. Or, if you have the measurements of the top, I can buy new hardware from CD.
Thank you for any help.
Herb

Hi Herb,
Do you have the dinette interior layout or the traditional where the table folds down from the bulkhead? I have the dinette interior and made my new table last year out of plywood and it came out very nice. I'm planning to head down to my boat tomorrow and if you need measurements, I can get them.

I have a pic of one on this pdf

The original table actually extends another 8 or ten inches. The one thing that you need to be aware of is the side against the hull is not a 90 degree to the length. It is straight, just not 90.

Herb,

I believe there were actually three different salon layouts over the years. If you could provide a picture of your seating, it might help us help you. Do you have an L-shaped seat, or two benches facing fore and aft, or two benches facing port and starboard? In your original post, you said of the missing table, "It looks like it goes from bow to stern and not port to starboard." That doesn't sound much like a dinette to me.

Thanks for the pictures Duane. Ours would be oposite of your. We have an L shape on the port and a straight ben on the starboard. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a dinette, it's just what I call it. I have it closed up in Ashtabula but I may have a picture I can dig up.
Thanks

Herb,
the picture don shows is like my 77. the only thing that is not
shown in the photo is the folding support leg located at the lower
starboard corner. it give the extra support needed when used as a
bed.

Herb,

I was on the boat recently looking at my table. I was thinking about what an eyesore it is to have that formica wood grain table I've got. Especially given the rest of the wood inside our boats is so nice.

How are you thinking about making your table? You said you already bought the teak, but did you buy teak strips and are you gluing them together?

I would like to hear your design plans, maybe it will get me going in the right direction.

Thanks,

My winter project has been to make a table for the salon. We have a traditional set up. I took the old table home, bought some wide boards at Home Depot, traced the old table shape, cut out with jig saw, sanded down to exact size, stained with a mahogany gel stain, and put several coats of McGuires (sp?) spar varnish on each. I bought a 24" brass piano hinge and will be using the other hardware from the original table. (including teak support leg). Haven't completely finished, but the new table surface looks beautiful and is much lighter in weight. Will take a picture when it is done.

Cate,

I too have the traditional layout. I was thinking of doing exactly what you talked about doing. What kind of wood did you use? Teak, mahogany or did you use something else?

Thanks,

Yep. I have the traditional layout. I used wide pine boards from Home Depot. Lowes has them too. The reason I used this wood was because this was my first major wood project and I didn't want to spend the big $$ on teak or mahogany wide boards in case I messed up. If I were to do this again I would pre-treat the wood before staining to make sure the wood was more resistant to moisture. I am hoping my many layers of varnish will keep the wood from warping over time. If the wood does warp I may do this project again with a more marine friendly wood. I think the key to this project was tracing the old table shape.
