The first season we shook her down on local runs to Hampton or to downtown Norfolk etc.We are using 24x23props on her.She gets up on plane pretty quick with those 454's here are some pictures of the interior
during restoration
After restoration
We found this tile in the attic of an old house we had bought a few years back an when we saw the color of the sink in the bathroom we thought perfect match so that is how the bathroom got tiled by yours truly
When we remodeled the galley we used granite for the counter tops and installed a small microwave convection oven with a black two burner cook top
we did not butcher the opening for the princess stove I fit in pieces that can be removed and a princess stove could be used again,
We also used hardwood laminate floors in stead of carpet as you can see in some of the other photos
On the table top we used tempered glass that was sand blasted on one side
and made a mahogany rail around the outide to hold the glass in place and to finish it we put a piece of the upholstry silk under the glass so the pattern will show thru
Lily hand carried! on the plane! 27yds of silk upholstery from China on one of her last visits
If it were me this boat would probably have shag carpet vinyle bathroom floor and laminate countertops
Miss Lily would have none of that thats why this boat truly is in the spirit of Lily herself
