Re: 535 Suntrip Refurb

I didn't screw mine down as I thought the weight of a 8x4 sheet of 18mm ply would not move, we were only on the river. Probably a mistake as anything you don't fix down will rattle as I found out. I think I have seen new pieces of wood fixed to either side of the stringers on projects then the ply ...

Re: 535 Suntrip Refurb

Hi on our sun trip I used 18mm marine ply for the floor covered the bottom and sides in west system epoxy and the top deck side in a non slip deck paint. Try looking at the mega van mats website for a carpet alternative. It is a very thin carpet like material that will stretch around corners.it ...

Re: Introducing "Miss Kyra" Shetland 535 suntrip

Sorry not been on the forum lately so bit late on the reply. The front frame of the canopy has a semi permanent 25 mm tube down through the centre of the window frame held on by 2 wing nuts which can be removed and folded down when in transit. The middle frame sits on this and the back frame folds ...

Re: 4+2 most useful items

Cheers for that Andrew
For a minute there I thought bear grills had bought a shetland lol.
I don't mind slumming it I fish from a bivvy for days on end but the more comfortable the boss is the more the boat gets used if you get my drift, I like your idea about lack of heating though ;)

My question is on a 4+2 which of the following are more important and useful.
Hot water at sink and shower ...

Designer recliner Miss Kyra Shetland 535 suntrip

Hi all. As we 535 owners all know space is at a premium and as my co pilot wanted a chair as well as a relaxing multi position recliner I had to come up with a design. I have to keep her happy so that kettle keeps getting used :P

Re: Introducing "Miss Kyra" Shetland 535 suntrip

Hi Simon
I used a conduit bender with a 25mm former. If you have any Electrician friends they may have one like me. I would suggest you use 25mm as I'm not sure you can get a former to fit 22mm, it's more of a plumbing size. Good look bending it on a plumbers bender if that's what your thinking as ...
