• Shorepower via a 30/50 cable.
Extensive rewiring of DC and AC systems completed in 2009.
A note about the engines:
Actual engines hours are unknown, current hourmeters indicate 3,600 (P) and 2,500 (S) hours, but they are not the original meters. During Winter 2009, a significant maintenance upgrade was performed by NC Machinery with the objective of extending the life of the engines another 3000 plus hours. Work included replacing the raw water systems (new sea strainers, raw water pumps, custom made heat exchangers mounted off the engines), new engine mounts, new exhaust systems and rebuilt injector pumps. The engines operate with no apparent problems, run great and should survey well.

Two heads featuring a complete new vacuum flush system including a new 60 gallon holding tank, all new piping and hoses. The master head features a tub and the second head includes a shower. The third head in forward section has been removed however the sink remains. Note: The wastewater system is based on two separate vacu-flush systems emptying into one 60 gallon holding tank.
The forward cabin features space for a separate clothes washer and dryer, currently now used for storage however all wiring and plumbing remains in place for easy hook-up should you want to add appliances.
The bright pilot house features excellent visibility and includes a table and seating for four as well as a watch berth.
