Big Change to Our Saloon — Was It a Mistake?

We made a bold move this week aboard NV — cutting into our companionway stairs, the front wall of our engine room and a major feature of our saloon. It’s the first step in a big refit to make room for our new, much bigger engine… but it also means transforming the heart of our living space. Was it worth it? Or did we just make a big mistake? 🎥 Watch to see how we handled the demolition, what changes we’re making, and how we’re reimagining this space as a functional engine room and a comfortable home. 👇 Let us know in the comments — does this mod improve the boat?
