Carl is finally out of the engine room

After days and DAYS of work Carl got the little generator for the watermaker up and running. Had a lot of inverter problems but I had faith and he got ‘r done! It’s a little louder that what we wanted but she sucks way less fuel that the boat engine.

Heads have been installed but not functioning yet, bathrooms have also have their final coat of paint on them. Chose an off white so it wouldn’t be as cold with snow white. Super glossy so easy to clean. Everything is going to look shit hot. He were bummed about having to remove and paint majority of the beautiful wood work but we didn’t want to live in all that rot. I don’t think it’s going to look all that bad, the trim work really pops with the white.

Painters are still working on the dodger and deck. The masts will hopefully come off today if Carl can get all the wiring disconnected in time.

We are spraying in a insulated barrier in the girls’ room for heat, it’s looking really good and you can’t even tell that there’s a think layer of foam.

Forgot to bring my camera to the boat today, excuse the phone pictures.

Hey Carl, we met at Lake Catherine marina, my dad is the owner.. I am about to buy a Kaufman 47(very similar to the Skye), and was wondering if you had the information on the little generator and the big regulator/rectifier you used?

  Hey Ronnie, for the alternator we used Zena, Inc. The little motor was a Kubota we got from Aqua Marine Watermakers – speak to Dan. Congrats for getting a boat! Ours is still for sale if yours doesn’t work out. Financing available 😉
