I have officially started work on C27, #2001, as of last night. My hope is that somehow I can maintain some sort of a living thread documenting updates with posts, details, and pics etc.
Last night I started poking around on the interior wiring, and going over the PO's punch list of items to be completed. His punchlist is mostly functional, with some cosmetic points:
· Finish stripping companionway door boards and varnish them. The wood handle on the companionway hatch could also use a touch up.
· Wire masthead light and attach to top of mast
· Install 4 prong plug on mast wiring at mast base
· Run mast light wiring from breaker box through cabin and up through coach roof/mast step
· Install/rebed mast step
· Install new seacock on water intake for engine and attach water intake line from engine to seacock
· Replace frayed wire that runs from starter to ignition switch
· Put caps on pipes left over from marine head plumbing
· Replace water tank and replumb
· Drill new tiller and replace on rudder post
Outside of these items, I intend to do the following:
· Re-wire the boat's primary charging and distribution circuits
· install a 19" flat screen TV/DVD combo with surround sound, ( I work in AV, so it is kind of a tradition for me)
· Install the omnidirectional digital TV antenna at the mast head
· Replace old cabin lighting with an updated Halogen lighting system
· Install ice-powered AC unit for summer use
· Add rope clutches and redo running rigging for an all-line-led -aft control scenario
· Replace incandescent running lighting with LED, (in an attempt to make up for the halo lighting down below
That is the short list for now, and I am sure it will grow, but my hope is to launch by spring or early summer 2011. The boat is indoors, and I am working on lighting and heating, but that is coming together quickly. Stay tuned for updates, pics and more.
