FULL SIZE Bathroom Shower in a 27 foot Pocket Trawler? (Ep64)

Can you build a full size bathroom and shower inside a 27 foot pocket trawler? This episode I discuss the plan for the new head (bathroom) on my Albin 27 Family Cruiser. The new head will be 20 sqr ft and have a stand alone shower!
Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs. And when all else fails, I tell stories of boat motivation.

a rational approach to boat building, what a concept! Fantastic job of actually showing the entire process from thoughts to completion. great stuff!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks so much Daniel😁👍 I just love it when people get what my channel is all about 😁

[@SmallCraftTasmania-ms4sx]

Great editing. Love your stuff. Mat & Jo.

Way to go Joe! 👍

Thanks Joe 👍😁

I really love how you present your projects. Gel coat versus Paint? I agree with you. KISS System.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

😁👍👍

Our 1975 Ed Monk Roughwater 35 is not a pocket trawler, but it is on the smaller side(see the one vid on my channel for an idea). Very livable space, with the exception of the very cramped wet head. You have totally inspired me to expand our 8 square foot head to 16 square feet - for a separated shower space. It’s going to pinch the dinette/sitee area a bit but we’re willing to sacrifice some seating inside for the livability of a real shower. We will be living aboard on it for at least a year on the great loop, anchoring a lot, so yep, need the shower!

Great boat ! and I think a worthy endeavor😁👍I would love to hear about it. Be sure to subscribe and please help spread the word in the trawler forums and social media 😎

Great insight into major issue aheadl (no pun intended). Here is a free idea so you know what it is worth. Try removable chrome tiles? They could be placed in sections so as to have the option to be power wished on the dock rhen just snaped back into place. How about those (Detroit LIONS). Great Video.

That’s for the comment 👍😁 The disco ball is on order already 🤣

Great boat! 😁Welcome aboard

I had a Hunter 37 years ago with a (almost ) dry head, when at anchor fresh water capacity became an issue. Subconsciously people seemed to use more water showering with a more comfortable dry head. How much water tankage will you plan?

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Great question Jay!😁 No doubt a normal bathroom on a boat invites people to behave like they are at home. It’s great when you’re docked up. 😁👍 The boat will have the maximum amount of water allowed by tankage for that very reason. Probably about 50 gallons. 😎 the goal is 100 gallons but I don’t think I can meet that in the space allowed. 🙁 The real limits on this boat are imposed by fresh water and waste tankage. Not by fuel or electrical/battery capacity. 🤓

[@brentchalmers1436]

What does a head that size bite out of the floor plan???

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Good question😎Well Brent, you can see from the floorplan diagram and video, Not that much! In the earlier videos I talk about the forward cabin layout. The new head makes use of the same floor space plus the area of the forward cabin dinette--which was wasted anyway and not that effective. Be sure to watch the other videos and like and subscribe 👍😁
