What's your plan for flooring? Your woodwork looks great.

Thanks buggy. All the wood will be done in the Epifanes. Not sure if I will get all of it coated this season, but that's the plan.

Ezmobee, the salon, dinette and hall will get a light carpet. The galley is getting a teak and holley flooring that was saved from an old pembroke sport fish cockpit. I have photos somewhere on this thread of the materials. The walls will be recovered, the dinette upholstered... The list goes on and on. I have some custom touches in mind also but will reveal them as time goes by!

Just got on your thread and went through every pic. As already said...outstanding. I too have a 1984 34c and lover her. I just got her last year and have been doing some basic stuff, but now I am ready to begin some real bright-work, inspired by you. I boat out of Bass River MA, if your are ever in the area.

Thanks Randy. Also nice choice in years, with the teak interior, green hillsides and black window frames, I always like the 84s the best. We lack the stall shower, but I hear the vberth is roomier for it. If you have photos or questions post them up. I've only had this boat since December, but have been in and around most areas aboard.

Thanks, in looking at the photos, it looks like I will be doing another coat of varnish on the center sections of the forward cabinet doors. The wood needs to fill in and smooth out more.

Man you have done a great job! Everything looks amazing, I'm really disappointed that I've caught up with the reading tho... Keep it up and I look forward to following your work from here.

Re: 1984 Silverton 34C Remodel/Update/Upgrade PIC HEAVY

I'll do my best to try and keep working on her and posting pictures.

Re: 1984 Silverton 34C Remodel/Update/Upgrade PIC HEAVY

More of nothing. Just installed the handles and calling the galley wood done. Front cabinet doors need more varnish but that will happen soon. Took another door home to redo.

Looks great.It's good when you can take your time and get it right.I hate rushing projects like this.

Re: 1984 Silverton 34C Remodel/Update/Upgrade PIC HEAVY

I plan to work an area at a time, not get overwhelmed and try to do it as best as I can. In the end I hope that plan lets things look good and it gets done before the end of the season.

Re: 1984 Silverton 34C Remodel/Update/Upgrade PIC HEAVY

Thanks. I purchased some mahogany to tackle my locker project. Getting rid of the tacky, falling off walpaper, and making the lockers look more like a true locker. The insides of the lockers may receive a repaint with some bilge white.

Thanks, I wanted simple and these are about as simple as they come!

One other project with no photos, on the gunwale there was an original railing. It was removed but the old mounting locations remained. Instead of patching the non skid, we purchased gunwale flush rod holders. My father drilled and installed them. They are most likely temporary as there is a plan to redo the coring around the stern, and a new finish will be done. Not to mention a transom door at some future time.

I got the dinette base sanded and one coat of poly. No photos, but a few more coats and then varnish and it should look good.


I also purchased and cut some carpet for the lower cabin. It needs to be trimmed and finally installed, but there are still projects to be done before I'm comfortable doing that (varnish, wallpaper etc). Fear not, they teal carpet will be removed and the tab will replace it throughout.

Also found out that the port vibration was a cutlass bearing. We sadly dropped the boat a marina and had them pull it, check the prop, shaft and do a new cutlass. The boat has no more vibration and we can finally run her how it should be run!!
