Specification

Some of you have been following my progress with this old girl and here's an update. She is for sale but I'm having fun with her. If I sell her, it will be to buy a bigger Commander. Meanwhile, here she is if anyone's interested.


What works: 2 Detroit Diesel 8V53 engines with ~1200 hours, (last run in June 2008, when we moved her to her new slip). Kohler 10kw genset, electric toilet, all interior 32vdc system and Sentry 32vdc charger, 120vac system.

What work has been completed since Nov 2006: The engines only needed new injector lines. Four new 8vdc batteries for start/house. Bilge cleaned and painted.
