New Vertrifrigo in our old 1987 3697

Of course, needed mods to make it fit. Had to space it out 1.125" with some Burmese teak ($150.00). Had to make some new cuts in the back wall which is the closet wall of the starboard bunk room. Added a vent at the bottom for air flow. Looks good with the other stainless upgrades.

You'd be surprised how quick this thing cooled down. Much better than any Norcold I've had. No noise at all either. Picked it up at Wolfs for 1699, and with the loyalty card, got $100.00 to spend on something else! So 1600 bucks.
Thanks
