New Achilles LT-4. Eight feet, six inches long, weighs 56 lbs. Easily driven by a Honda 2 HP. Slides right under the tall radar arch, even with o/b bracket installed. Made of tough Hypalon, VERY abrasion and UV resistant. My last one lasted almost 20 years with hard use every year.

Chesapeake Night. Note the folded Achilles dinghy strapped to the roof. A small package for the same inflatable seen in the next picture. One advantage of a "soft-tail" vs a rigid transom.

Galley: teak racks and towel bar. Note forward position of stove. We specified this when ordering so we would have space behind for storage. It seems that most stoves are mounted too far back.

Raising the helm seat two inches. I added oak supports and bought 4 machine screws (3", 10/24). Drill holes in the oak supports, line up carefully and secure with screws. Much more comfortable and better visibility, even with trim tabs. A quick and easy project.

Reflective tape (ACR) added to make vessel more visible when anchored at night or when in distress. A package of 12 sheets ($25 at West Marine) will do the whole boat. Tape was added to bimini frame, radar arch, cabintop handrail supports and bow pulpit. Highly effective at night, but not noticeable during the day.

Gear storage hammocks in v-berth. Oak bases with hooks are epoxied to the side of the hull. Very handy and they don't intrude very much into the berth.

Marcia-made insert for dinette in berth mode. Reversible passenger seat option leaves a 4 inch gap in the cushions, which makes sleeping difficult because cushions can move. Insert keeps everything in place.
