Another new owner
Eddy:
Hey, we are on the Chesapeake. The boat is currently at Yacht Haven in Gloucester Point. I will definitely check out the Pearson owners information thanks for that.
Chelsea:
Welcome to Pearson World... I'm new with it too. I like the dialog that this promotes.
I have a question about the ice chest on board.
Would anyone have the dimensions of it? My boat is 200 miles away and I am attempting to spec out a cooling unit for the ice chest as it holds ice a long time so should be quite easy to add a cooling system. I have identified the Frigoboat unit as a good one while at the Strictly Sail Chicago boat show this past weekend. I talked with many owners who have the unit and it performs very well and user friendly. Now the question is the amount of space to cool.
Eddy, if you have a chance and are at your boat would you mind taking measurements for me? I will post the unit specs as I develop them for all to use.
Thanks,
Lauri
Eddy:
Hey the boat is about a hour and a half away but I do have to go down sometime this week. I'll get the dimensions while I'm there. I've been reading through all the literature that came with the boat. I have a bunch of the original documentation that came with the boat along with oodles of other documentation.

Eddie, the chain plates are easy to remove and inspect. There's a few screws holding the molding on that covers the aft 2 plates and they are easy to get at when the molding is removed. The foremost plate might require more work. I took mine out when the boat was gutted. Not sure if you can get at it by just removing the trim plate at the back of the top shelves in the head or not. If not you'll have to remove the cabinet face. That's not difficult unless th ere's a spaghetti bowl of hoses in there. The port side is easy to reach through the wet locker doors. When I took mine off they were pristine. The boat has spent about 2/3 of its life on fresh water.
I have a lot of pictures of the inside when gutted. I had everything out I could get out without destroying it. If you have a need for knowing what's behind something removable I may be able to help.
Lauri, I can give you partial measurements of the ice box. The fore and aft dimension is 23", The athwart ships (is that the right word for perpendicular to fore and aft?) is 25 1/2" at the fore end and 17 3/4" at the aft end. This was taken about 10" above the floor. Because of the sloped side it will be larger further up. Unfortunately I don't have the depth. I can estimate 30+". I can not reach the bottom without standing on a riser. I'm 5'9" tall. If you know the height of the counter top that is close.

Eddy:
sorry I didn't get back sooner I wasn't able to get down to the boat until yesterday. The measurements I have is the opening is 18"x14". The inside dimension right below the opening is 30"x24". The maximum depth is 31". There are two shelves on the port side that run fore/aft, the top one is 13" wide and the bottom one is 11". It is pretty cold here today, we had snow and some ice last night temps in the 20's. HTH.
