1988 Californian 45

I just purchased a 1988 Californian 45 and joined this forum. I would like to make contact with other owners with this type of boat. Over the next 1-2 years my wife and I want to make a number of changes and upgrades to the vessel. We have been full-time live-aboard cruisers (east cost and Bahamas) for 4 years and are transitioning from a sailboat to this floating condo. We like to be on the hook and mooring balls, so many of the upgrades will be to become more shore power/generator independent so we can be in remote areas for several months without shore power or using the generator. Also, it is an old boat and many of the systems are no longer supported by the original manufacturer and many of the items, like hoses, need replacing, and the documentation for the boat is slim-to-none.
