Seat riser raises the seat 2.5 inches. Dual purpose making more room for the fridge and letting me get rid of the throw cushion I normally sit on while driving.
Got the fridge shelf installed today. Easy galley access under the helm seat. This will pretty much be used for food only. Drinks will be in the cooler in the cockpit like we have done all along. Well, until we run out of ice anyway.
The fridge is 32 quart, 12v/AC LG compressor unit from Costco. I've been running it full of beer in one of the spare bedrooms for the past month and it seems to work really well. Supposedly 2.4 amp draw when running. Runs for about 5 minutes on a 25 minute cycle. I found out about them from the guys on the Expedition Portal forum. They seem to like them pretty well so we'll see how it goes. For $250 I figure it's definitely worth a shot compared to the price of some of the "name" brand units out there. If it sucks, back to Costco it goes. I'll be adding a 150 watt solar panel to the roof rack to keep it chugging along.

Wiped with acetone and 3M 5200 applied.
I'm adding some strips of mahogany across the top of the cabin to attach things to. Sanded the mounting areas with some 40 grit to knock down the stipple and get a bit better adhesion.
The seat riser and furrowing strips that are being glued above the side windows. I will eventually make roll up curtains that will attach to the strips. I prefer roll-ups vs snap-on's, at least for the side windows, because that one less thing to store and they're right there when the sun starts blazing. All of them got 3 coats of teak oil.

Then I pulled this destroyer wheel from the fishing boat, wrapped it with some 550 Paracord, and installed it in the Dory. Nice little update from the "vintage" plastic wheel.
