    Elling E4 Sea-trial thoughts

    Some others here may offer more specific advice than me, but I can tell you that we are in the midst of commissioning our new E4 and have had a fantastic experience with Anton, Jack, and Elling in general. We have received first class treatment, but more importantly have made some new life long...

    Pascal, No. The boat has a bit more finish work to complete before it’s shipped so we can be at the Bay Bridge Boat Show in April

    We are going with a “suitcase” inflatable catamaran dinghy and a 2.5 hp Suzuki. For as little as we have typically used our previous tender, this seemed like a much better option. I had some extra hideaway cleats integrated onto the swim platform to tie it down temporarily.

    Update! Our boat ships March 18th to Baltimore. Today was the survey! Super happy with how the upgrades have worked out. We are more excited than ever to be part of the Elling family.

    That’s definitely on the table as an option.

    Correction! I was given some outdated info. Sorry about that. The system installed on the 2024 E4 we are acquiring is the Webasto V50 chiller. It’s set up to run from the genset, engine alternator underway (no genset) or the inverter and lithium battery bank in “eco mode” for roughly 3 hours.

    Would an aft mounted gangway have made the difference at the floating dock? Can you tell me how the genset was configured in the Elling you were on? The genset on the demo boat looked accessible except for a large person. (I’m 5-10, 200ish pounds…) I think I could get in the space fairly...

    What should I check on the new boat regarding the HVAC? The batteries are located in an easy access closet on the demo boat which is laid out the same as the one we are working on. I was told the water maker mounts under the master bed. Appreciate any advice you have to give!! Thank you !

    I’m definitely a Cummins guy! We had a QSL8.3 540 on the AT435. Great power and efficient cruise. Easy maintenance. Hard to beat!

    They happen to have a boat built and nearly ready to ship that is basically how we would have ordered it i.e. Cummins QSL8.3 Items we are adding while still at the yard in Holland are more superficial: Navtronics additions, water maker, underwater lights, hull shield transducers, items mentioned...

    Elling E4 Sea-trial thoughts

    The AC system is 36k btu dual chillers that are inverter powered and can run off engine alternator and lithium battery bank without genset running….with the living area design “should” be up to the task…at least that’s what they tell me. I’m definitely not a Volvo aficionado, so our boat will...

    Hello TF Members! I have lurked and learned from this forum for several years now, and have enjoyed the banter and witty humor from many throughout that time. I myself am not nearly as wise or knowledgeable and admit I have much to learn! About us...we are former owners of the beautiful...
