My Alloy Cat in Texas

#1

Post by Vinsp »

Hello
I am new to the board and wanted to introduce myself and post some photos of my alloy catamaran. The boat was built in Louisiana at Island Boat it is my understanding the plans for the boat came from Australia. The primary change I am making is rewiring the boat witch I am in the process of now. I knew it would be a lot of work just did not think it would take this long. I keep the boat a Kirby if you in the area stop by cant miss me C shed.

This is the new layout I am not completed still a long way to go. I wanted to get it out of the weather more and have a good place to mount new electronics when I have a chance to get them.

Welcome to the board and yes , a full rewire is a BIG job. It's great way to learn your boat and how it works.
