Over the winter Jp and I did a lot of things to the boat
We put in heat and air

We put 2 4 inch vents in the enclosure, and a 6 inch vent in the vberth





The intake

The boat yard also put in our new generator, a 5.5 northern lights
JP wired it
We also added trim tabs that made steering 100 percent better

Under water lights and 110 lights were also added

Hahaaaa!!! Just another day in the hood!!!!

Couldn't of had a better apprentice junior thanks. Just make sure you go to college so you can be a boat owner and not a boat worker


Happy as a clam the rudders are working with the extra bottom. She steers like its on rails now. SWEET!!!!!

Can't wait to just go fishing 7 days in Indianapolis is enough to drive any one man insane.

Make sure you don't leave the transom U/W lights on at cruise. Unless they are LED's, they are not made to be on without water on the housing lens.

John:

I'm not gonna ask you how you know.......

[JohnV8r]

LOL! Believe it or not, I knew from reading the installation manual back in '05 or so when we did the group purchase that JP put together. ; )

I bought three U/W lights and installed two pointing down near the struts and one on the transom pointing aft. I wired them so they are on separate circuits. That way I can leave the two down lights on when running, which makes the water around Shambala glow like Capt Nemo and the Nautilus are after us. I have since learned from the manufacturer that they have LED replacements that can be left on when the housing is out of the water and have that upgrade on my list...

Neil, Nice work..I like the genny down in the center..the ac in the bow under the v berth? I will have to check that out in Greenportand and see how cool she gets...Junior is getting quite an education on rigging but JPs right stay in school...love the blue uw lights..shine on.BH

[JP Dalik]

Bob.

That wont be the first one with the a/c in the bow.

That unit and location have been battle tested on a certain fbc that frequents this board. If she had been stripped to the hull the install could of been different, but with all the planned modifications we just ran out of room.

At 12000 btu's Neil can keep the mountains on his beer cans blue while Junior drives the boat.
