Greetings all,
My blog with more detail about my boat build is @ Conall's Boat Build
I'd like to start posting updates here as I've been lurking around this site and getting good info for years now. I'm going to start off at my current state of construction, but a brief summary of my boat is she's 48' overall with a 15'4" beam, 44' on deck, 39' @ DWL, full displacement @ 72,000 LBS, single engine Deere 6068TFM, twin disc gear @ 2.95 reduction, 2" shaft with 30 x 20 four blade, 1300 gallons of fuel in four tanks, 400 gallons of water in 8 SS tanks, two staterooms, two heads, two showers ( one shower is on aft deck), hydraulic system powered from live PTO off of gear, 10" hydraulic bow thruster, hydraulic anchor winch.
I built her in my barn, and after 10 years moved her last fall in two pieces to our current location @ Washington Marine on the Ohio River.
I'm closing in on completing the wood work having just finished trimming the salon. Last night I stopped by on my way home from work and installed the stereo in the salon. There's a day head in the salon. I'll be installing the rest of the galley cabinets this weekend and finalizing the air conditioning duct work so I can build the settee platform. All the cabinets in the salon were built in the shop last year. All the wood on board is Cherry.
Cheers,
Conall
