Re: Project Shanana

Hello,<br /><br />Glad you found the site. Hope it works out for you as well as it has for me.<br /><br />I've been following your project updates throughout the day and it looks really impressive so far!

Re: Project Shanana

Cheers for that. It doesnt look much for 16 months work but the boat is at our beach home about 1.5 hours away from home so I only get to work on it at weekends.<br />Also had a few months off the project due to some surgery on my hand that derailed the work plans somewhat.<br />However we are back into it now and some good progress has been made this week.<br /><br />Regards<br />Peter

Re: Project Shanana

Nice work, peterf. Are you working off of a plan you conceived yourself?

Beautiful. Looks really good. Love the console layout and really love the wiring job you did on those batteries!

Re: Project Shanana

No plans boomyal, all in the head but using ideas picked up from wherever.<br />I work in the Auto (Construction Equip.) industry so I have access to good components for everything I need. We have our own auto electricians at work. Most of the purchases are at trade cost so I figure that I can use good gear and it will be a one off expense then.<br />Thanks for the encouragement.<br />Peter

Re: Project Shanana

DJ, hi there.<br />All the edges are still very rough but the basic construction is complete. I am trying to turn this old ship into something that will suit our needs for a few years to come.<br />I have to start back onto the port side bulkhead and finish it today.<br />The basic instruments that are for the I/O are used again. I have added<br />1: Hourmeter<br />2: Voltmeter<br />3: Fuel guage<br />4: Gas / fume detector <br />5: Replacement speedo head<br />6: Compass<br /><br />Peter

Re: Project Shanana

Good luck peterf... at least that's one baby off your hands!

 

[Peter J Fraser]

Re: Project Shanana

Hi there Triton II.<br />Thanks for that. At least our son may be cheaper but heaven forbid if he picks a "British Subject"<br /><br />He just paid out 1200.00 UK pounds for his airfares home from LOndon to be with us for 3 weeks.<br />At least he is enjoying the beach and our summer now instead of the UK winter.<br /><br />I measured 48deg C ground temps here today. Air temp was 29C.<br />Finally summer arrives YEH.<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Peter

Re: Project Shanana

Nice work. Especially on the bulkheads. Can't wait to see some pics of the interior with the new raised cabin roof in place. Are you re-using the old windows or making new ones?

Re: Project Shanana

Peter, nice work and Good luck!!!<br /><br />Joe

 

[Peter J Fraser]

Re: Project Shanana

Mark42,<br />Thanks for the words. There is still nothing in the interior as yet. I have a pencil line around the inside of the cabin just above the chine line to build the bunks to, but that part is yet to come.<br />The old windows were laminated glass and totally wrong shape for now.<br />Soooooo all new, probably in Polycarbonate Plastic and I will fix them to the cabin sides with Eurothane Sealant as per auto windscreens.<br />No more leaks!!!!<br /><br />Peter
