Thanks Booerang,the dry stack system is great, I just really want to open up the main salon /galley/ pilot house and deck out the flybridge ...

I’ve seen that boat just sitting at the canal boat yard. I was wondering what was going on. Now that you own it I suspect work will start happening. Good luck with your adventure.

Wow, congrats and good luck! Keep us in the loop with upgrades and use.

I have a dry stack system and that stack compartment in your saloon is huge. Before you rip everything out, have another look at it and see if there is anything else in there that is also using the space. It looks like it might be the principle vent for your engine room, which will need a replacement too.

I just had another look, you have a Detroit. There is a possibility there are two stacks in there with parallel mufflers that siamese into one before the upper deck stack. Detroits make a huge racket and you might find you are retrieving space at the sacrifice of relative quiet.

There is a fellow in our marina with a 48 Tolly with twin Detroits, water cooled and he can be heard approaching miles away.

Have a consult with a Detroit guy first?

There is a two mufflers that go into the single stack,the stack is huge it’s metal and wrapped in the white fiberglass , I want to do an under water exhaust with a bypass tube , this trawler will be mostly a condo on the water in downtown Sausalito so I would rather have the space than the peace and quiet , I am going to open up the upper wall between the current galley and the pilot house and possibly put the galley aft and a U shaped couch where the current galley is,on the fly bridge there will be a full bar and a U shaped sette and day bed sun pads behind where the stack is now, I woukd like to put a small hot tub but I don’t think it can handle the weight,there is a sister ship listed on yacht world with dry side exhaust which might be an option ,but those big mufflers eat up a lot of space down the sides of the engine room

Thank you, I moved the boat to CSR and hatton marine is doing the exhaust ,I hope I made good choices?the boat was a bank repo and I believe it had been there for quite awhile ,Pacific fiberglass did a bunch of dryrot repair work done on the boat prior to it being repossessed , fortuneatly all the teak decks except for the borders were glued down instead of screwed down so the boat decks are solid ,the fly bridge teak decks had been removed several years ago but the over hangs ( where the flybridge teak deck borders were screwed down were never properly repaired ) the wings and Bollards need some work , being that the flybridge eyebrow and overhang sides,parts of the Bollards and wings need paint , I am considering painting painting the hull,bollards ,wings, eyebrow a taupe leaving the cabin white and painting the boot stripe ,upper half of flybridge and arch charcoal grey,,,if I can get the boat yard to give me a deal, I like look of these new expedition yachts those colors , it will either look really cool or like a really bad idea .....

Thank you , I would like post progress reports and get input from the forum, where is the best place to post them ? I woukd assume the classified isn’t it

CSR is a good yard. I’ve used them in the past and was always happy. Hatton is a good engine shop. They do it right. The only thing I can say negative about Hatton is they aren’t cheap.

I heard the boat had a bad shaft vibration, I don’t know if my source is reliable, just what I heard and never saw the shafts out of the boat. Who ever moved it to CSR can tell you if there was any vibration.

You must have just moved the boat as I saw it Wednesday at Canal.

I like bank repo’s, they are usually great deals.

Good luck with the paint job.

I know they put in water and ran it over to hatton and started tearin* out the dry stack exhaust ,the hydronic engine controls were very stiff and couldn’t get one transmission into gear,I am not sure if it’s an actuator, probably have to service the reservoir filter and change out fluid in the steering and if that doesn’t do the trick I’ll go with a new electronic eng controls

Looks like I will be seeing you at the Seattle boat show. LOL. If you need any help sourcing local talent let me know.

Thank you tilt rider, am planning on going to the boat show,I will probably take you up on finding good talent , I am going to need a good cabinet maker,metal fabricators that have cad/ cnc machines / water jet cutters,somebody that can build marine sliding doors ,someone that can do the bright work on the boat ,usually yards will let other people come in and do varnish / bright work ( the yards rates just are too high for varnish work)heat and a/c ,....also looking for a used ,bow and stern thruster, nice davit,under counter drawer refrigeration , two large sat domes 24-30” and used satellite tv system,radar mast, electronic engine controls, good window glass shop, a fiberglass shop that can build some things off the boat

 

[tiltrider1]

That’s a big list. As the projects ramp up I give you some direction to consider. The CNC/water jet guys are all in the city of Kent, just south of Seattle. Do look at FrontPanelExpress.com. If your job fits their machine they are fastest easiest to deal with. Boeing aerospace is in Kent, that’s why all the flowjet cutting is down there.
