Boat is sold. looking for a trawler for the great loop.

The new floor went in, New side windows, new regulator for the alternator, replaced the Raymarine S2G with an S3 computer. The boat was surveyed and found to be in great shape. I did however get a list of things to do. I am going to work through them and post them here. Toady the mast is pulled and I winterized her. Getting the boat shrink wrapped soon.

 Just an old shot of Hawaii. Reality is, a winter storm is bearing down on us. I am working in my garage on the new instrument panel and a few new cupboards. I tore the floor out of the cabin and need to find a replacement. I'll update when I have something photoworthy.

 Middle of September. I finished a custom lift for the dingy. I wanted it to carry the motor and built it from square tube aluminum. I had it welded up and painted it. Works great.

 Next up, a new 12 volt panel and a new floor.

Winter work

 Plans for the winter include replacing the motor mounts, installing an inverter for the microwave and the biggy! A scratch built dingy lift.

I ordered a new main sail from Florida. The on mast furler is working much better but it isn't as slick as I'd like. I added steps up to the first spreaders. The Radar is acting up so I picked up a replacement. She's wrapped up for the snow. I'll pull the batteries over the holidays. Merry X mas

Work Work Work!!!

Summer is coming and work progresses. I have just about finished the full enclosure and the 6HP bow thruster is installed. I would say 50% of the wiring has been replaced, Radar installed, new instrumentation, new lighting. PHEW!

I spent the fall working on a bow thruster install. I glassed in a 7 5/16 tube for a Vetus 6 hp thruster which I will bolt in come spring.  I ripped out all the wiring to the helm and tossed most of the electronics. I have been working on it almost every weekend right through the winter.
