Thank you so much, it was an exciting project spanning over 3 years. As far as I remember this was a video from year 2.

Thank you for the very nice comment🙂

In round figures USD 10-15k depending on extras ect.

Hardtop is original, a small number of the 23 were delivered with them.

@@Skilsoboats is it possible to buy it or maybe plans to build it?

Absolutely agree on the “Trawler range”

Thank you, we totally agree.❤

If you look through the videos, some of the work is done by my self and some is done by hired yard. However I have been in the business of refurbishment for close to 20 years now. This particular video is kind of a "1/2-way through refurbishment status". Lots have changed since. Cost is a very diffuse thing when talking of projects like this. This particular boat is more a work of passion (test-bed), the work and cost of this one combined is over and above what should make sense in a $ - to - $ resale-thinking-way....There is an estimate in the hard-top-video for that particular project.

Difficult to say, fairly easy to figure the exact "hardware" cost like plotter displays, auto-pilot ect. ect. However there are a significant labor cost on top of this, and the cabeling is not insignificant either. ball-park EUR 12k. depending on what you include in the calculation.

Not really sure what you mean by high-low. This hard-top is on par with the height of the superstructure and the exciting overhang on the flybridge. ;-) The fiberglass-top was done by POD as their design is stronger and fit the lines of the boat better than other options in our opinion.

This is a highly custom solution where no corners were cut and a lot of man-hours, the hardtop Installation was just part of a major combined project. In other words hard to specify exactly. There are about USD 10K in materials and shipping-costs, then ad the man-hours.

@@Skilsoboats hmm, i might be interested in doing something like that as well.

Thank you for the nice comment, we do our best :-)

Thank you very much, a lot of work involved👍

Thanks for the feedback and great you liked the walk-through, a lot of work have been done, but much more is ongoing and there have been some major upgrades and changes over the past 6 month. More to come ;-)

Thank you for the nice comment, this is an ongoing project so this is “only” first step of the refurbishment. More to come…

Thank you Harold, still some work to be done before we are totally finished with it, but we are getting there.

Thank you,.

Hello Jason, this boat is not currently for sale.

Thanks, we do our best :-)

Its been hard work to get it "up-to-scratch" but yes, we are also pleased with the result. :-)

Thank you for the nice comment, do my best😊

We use regular high quality spray paint on cans. Make sure the paint dont have any metalic ingrediense as this will make the radar useless.

@@Skilsoboats what brand of spray paint did you use? I am painting my furuno radome white and I am looking at VHT white epoxy paint but it has <5% titanium dioxide in the paint formula. Furuno says no metallic, but would <5% titanium dioxide cause any problems?

Todd Mehserle Yes, in therory you are right, but what you dont do for looks ;-)

Hej Tor, motorfeste-punkterne er de samme, men der skal gøres lidt plads i siderne og ende hvor rammen til dørken må justeres. Nt gearkasse -den gamle er for svag, så ms4 eller hydraulisk. Axling ok, skruen skal fornys, den skal ændres ret kraftigt. Med standard 18x18 når den ikke de omdr. den skal.. 17-18 knob opnåede vi kun på testsejladser, realistisk er det nok 15-16 i normalt trim, 14,5 har vi med feriepakning, og cruise omkring 12,5 . Det er vigtigt med ekstra udluftning også som det fremgår af videoen.

South West Florida Aerial - yes. The old one was 18x18, and the engine was reaching 3100 rpm. The new prob. is 17x16, and should fint better, giving something lige 600 rpm extra.

We have mounted a 17x16 prob for this season giving a top-speed of 16.8 to 17.2. You are right, the old prob was too steep with 18x18.

South West Florida Aerial it does yes .-)

South West Florida Aerial - yes it does, the feet line up, but you have to upgrade the water inlet as it’s too small for the more powerful engine. Also notice that the 31 is quite a bit wider than the 30 op top, and that the gearbox is bigger also.

thanks, there must be a couple of versions of that engine, as mine looks very similar to the original 30 Im picking it up tomorrow and making the swap soon, also can you tell me about the venting that you did in this video? I assume the original flange to the prop shaft can be used, ?to me it looks identical

+yamahamm - tak :-)
