Complete Renovation/Retrofit


I recently inherited a 1998 Carver 355 Aft Cabin that is cosmetically in excellent shape. The fiberglass is great. The wood and interior is flawless after wiping off a little mildew. The fridge used to be cold on 3 but now needs turned all the way up. The two AC units have rust in the pans and one doesn't seem to be as cold as the other. The Kohler generator won't stay on all the time but works fine when it does. I'm planning on taking it to a a service center in Cincy this fall and was thinking about just replacing everything: 2 AC/Heaters, fridge, water heater, and anything else that is not 100% perfect working condition. Also thinking about having the new seadeck stuff put in the interior in lieu of carpet and snap on seadecking on the exterior. Also it needs all new canvas but I wish I could somehow put a hard top on with plexiglass sliding windows instead. I would welcome any thoughts. Does this retrofit sound like a good plan or are there other options?
