Im disappointed in the engine noise level.

I find that I have to walk forward yet holding the wheel in one hand behind in order to have a conversation under way on our boat. Sitting in the captains seat and all I can hear is the splash and engine even at 1700 rpm’s.

Bought new 2023 Harris 25 Classic Tri toon. 150 HP Mercury. Kept in new condition. Easily handle family outings with 18 persons. I’m hoping I will one day forget the high cost of this boat. So far I’m still reeling at what I spent. 😳

Ok sure it’s way nicer and larger than our previous 2013 23’ Bennington with a 115 HP. Carpeted floors are the worst.

I don’t want to be cranky about this but I find the noise and isolation annoying. My hand gestures are misinterpreted as overly aggressive. 🤔

If I upgrade the boat what are the quieter options? Electric outboards or other configuration? Please don’t say add a sail. lol

I’m installing a new kitchen with nice quality pre-finished flat pack cabinets. Lacquer finish.

In this kitchen a range hood insert was chosen and a standard 24” deep wall cabinet was cut down to 18” deep to fit the unit.

In a rush I goofed and added a scribe trim where I was not intending. Now the door does not fit at all.

The problem started with a 3/4” x 1 1/2” bottom trim that did not miter nicely and I added a scribe trim to the face to cover it up.

However I just discovered I am over the face frame on the left side by 3/8” with the door touching the scribe trim.

Moving the vent cabinet to the right to add a 3/8” filler would be a royal pain and would then not match the cabinets to the right of the window that also has a 1” of tile.

1: cut 1/2” off the right side of the cabinet door and finish it as best I can? The spray stain / lacquer rattle can they offer actually finishes much darker than the original.

2: cut the door the 1/2” only where it meets the hood trim and upwards? Then to finish that upper edge as best I can. I think that would be an obvious mistake.

3: remove all the trim below the vent cabinet and redo it tighter and with a different trim? Perhaps the same light rail trim? I struggle with miters with pre-finished materials.

FYI the stainless commercial style hood is to be dropped lower 3/4” once all the trim is in place.

I don’t see where to add the necessary photos. 🤷‍♂️
