One of the things that drew me to the PumRunch was her lovely interior. Simon and Janet had done a lovely job of restoring her interior adding clever bits of executive jet aircraft interiors that were left over from his day job working on jets. However, all they did was restore it. Not modify it. That was by, at the time, a unknown previous owner
The table lays down to make a twin bed
one side of the v-berth is removed where a marine toilet and small shower used to be that Simon had to remove to be allowed to place the boat in a reservoir lake.
lots of lovely mahogany, not original obviously
Built ins and storage everywhere. The bottle of rum was found in the bilge. Forgotten long ago in a smuggling rum during its Caribbean years
The incredibly clever roll out kitchen replaces one of the bunks with pressure water in the sink.
On my trip to survey her and put a deposit down on her I got as they say, "the rest of the story" from Janet about the Pum's interesting history known so far. She has many, many miles under her keels in the U.S. as a liveaboard from Galveston to Charleston including the keys and all over the Caribbean. Also I've determined that she appears to have been sailed over from the U.K. to the U.S. ending up in poor shape in Texas by her first unknown owners. the girls seen some miles for sure!
