Re-Framing the Suwanee 62


With a lot of help from friends, I have torn the old cabin apart, and without having to remove the roof of the structure, I have reframed the cabin and replaced the decking. From the bow of the boat to the stern end of the cabin the exterior is just about ready to start fiber-glassing.

The cabin of this boat was HUGE, but the back deck seemed limited in size. I chose to move the back wall of the cabin about 4 feet forward. Ultimately, this created a huge back deck without compromising the space I wanted on the inside. One way I planned to gain space in the cabin, is to not put a steering station down below. The boat will have a large flying bridge and only one helm. The design will allow for a below roof, helm to be added later if needed.
