Renovation Page

Figured I'd put all the reno pics in one place so I could de-clutter the "Boat" page.  These are just miscellaneous pictures of the different upgrades and updates to the boat.

    Where did you get your hard bimini?

    Hey Ella, thanks for checking out my blog. About the hard bimini......I am not sure where it came from or when it was put on. It was on the boat when we bought it back in October - but it is really a nice looking and well built bimini, it matches the shape of the boat and is very strong. We did although, find a picture of the boat taken back in 2004, and everything back then looks just as it does now - the solar panel rack, dingy davits, and hard top.

    Yeah, I've been following your progress. It's captivating to see all the things you guys are doing to the boat/yacht. Where exactly are you guys at in Key West? I pulled up the town on the mapquest satellite. Are you any where close to Trumbo Road or Lazy Way Lane?

    Perhaps I missed a segment, but can you show (pics or diagram) how you got 1024 watts situated / located on your catarman. Most cruisers seem to have around 600-700 watts and have no more room, ecept for those that install walk on fle panels.

      Yeah...this was covered pretty well in my Refit #5 Video on YouTube. You can watch it from this link (hopefully it works) - but I have 840 watts on the hard top in the form of three 280 watt panels and I have 184 watts that swivel on the solar rack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmA_8ix-al4
