Things like new toilets.
New sailcovers.
Or in my case this week:
A new galley sink!
But a boat sink is different than a house sink.
For a house sink you hop in the suv and motor on over to Lowe's.
Seventeen different choices.
All that fit.
All reasonably priced.
Have holes pre-cut for faucets.
Takes about 10 minutes to install.
No big deal.

Takes about three years to research and find the correct size.

Im still waiting for my sink to be cocked that he installed 3 years ago...I dont know what the hold up is. Perhaps he's making sure its the right marine kitchen sink? LOL
I learned a loooooooooong time ago that all you gotta do is call any cheap doo-hickey a "Marine Doo-Hickey", crank up the price by a factor of ten, and then you too are owning a boat supply store.
