We Purchased a 2001 48' Kadey Krogen in the Fall of 2019 and spent 6 months renovating her inside, outside, electronics, navigation & mechanical equipment. In June 2020 she was finally really to set out on her adventures. This board is all about her renovations. There are "BEFORE" images in the comments.

This is our 2001 48' Kadey Krogan, she is our home. We purchased it in the Fall of '19 and spent 6 months renovating her inside, outside & electronics. Here she is in Sag Harbor, NY just a little after we started our travels with her in June 2020.
This is our "back deck." We installed an Eisenglass enclosure around this area with window panels that zip open & roll up there are also screen panels to fill in the openings. It protects this space and given us another room. We've been so thankful for it in stormy and cold weather and it's great fun to sit out here durning a storm and watch the weather happen around you.
