@Sunbeam
I couldn't even begin to tell you how well thought-out this boat is. It was rigged by Les at EQ, and I am also blown away at how nicely the rigging was done. It is meticulous throughout; I feel very lucky to be the caretaker at this point. I would have also just gone with stainless all around, but I like the look and am trying to honor Doug's vision for the boat as well. He's a retired fire chief, I'm a current FF/EMT--maybe it's a chain-of-command thing, ha ha.

Isn't the raised part of the v-berth called the "trunk" or "raised trunk" or "raised deck"? I don't believe it's any part of the cabin. Let's get nautical here.

Agreed, your boat looks great (I made my last post before you posted photos, even though it showed up afterward). From all I have heard and read, EQ is tops  |

I think there could be some room for variation here. On sailboats, the whole bit that is raised above the deck is often called the trunk cabin, or (shortened to) cabin (nautically acceptable in my mind, unless one is writing something technical in nature). Therefore the sides are often called the cabinsides. On that basis I don't find it to be "un-nautical" to call the area in question the cabinsides, but there very well may be other, better, or more specific ways to say it on this style of powerboat (?).
"Raised deck" usually refers to a boat on which the topsides essentially continue on up "vertically" to form the cabinsides.
[Hmm, guess I will have to figure out how to post images and come back; let's see if I can do it in 29 minutes  Okay, got it, had to load them into my album first ]
Something like this one:
Or this one (of which the designer, Crocker, is known for many raised deck designs):

What, Jay?
You didn't think my "drippy gutter thingy" was nautical?

No arguments here, just trying to learn the nauticalese. I learned something already but it appeasrs more pertainent to sail boats. Maybe our experts thataway and JamesTXSD could chime in. bmacpiper your boat is classie and I wish Les was located in the upper midwest eventhought I've never met him or his work; thers's been nothing but praise for him on this site. Oh, "drippy gutter thingy" is not only nautical but also quite descriptive.

@Kevin,
I didn't find those, thanks a lot! That does make it look like the cabinsides are indeed thinner, maybe 3/8" or so.
Best,
Ben McC |
