New boat build - 40 foot catamaran for end of 2022 delivery.

[Rain City]

thats only actually about 25% of the completed system. once i take delivery of the boat i'll do the rest before i go transatlantic.
its difficult to stuff suitcases full of the stuff and take them on airplanes before it starts to look questionable. so ive ordered a bunch of stuff in europe as well.

Just put a big label on your suitcase that says "Not A Bomb"

yah he’s been catfishing us for years with his little floating boat of electronics

Can hardly call it a boat, it’s a damn near satellite

 

[zurk]

wiring including throttles and random stuff like hatch lift supports, water pipes, rope clutches, wash basins and one electric poop chute (2nd on the way).

Just think of all the room for gadgets your going to have in there. You’ll need to get yourself a 12 kw gen set to run them all.

 

[zurk]

high output alternators on both engines - 1.2KW x 2 = 2.4KW
5 x 500W solar = 2.5KW
2 x high speed hydrogenerators = 350 x 2 = 0.7KW
Total is 5.6KW. Not quite 12KW, but it will be tight. I upsized the battery bank to 26.8KWh
can likely boost alternators with a serpentine belt but would prefer not to..
biggest worry is running the compute. at home i can spin up 224 CPUs on a whim. on the boat I only have 16 + 1 GPU. will i need an FPGA ? who knows.

dont forget to install glass in-line fuses

 

[zurk]

lol.

Battery bank upsized to 27.6KWh. new batteries just came in with more 30 more amp hours.
just fyi the fuses are all automatic self resetting thermal fuses. no more changing fuses.

 

[zurk]

the wheels on the blocks go round and round...
also saphir HC poly windows going in.

also am seriously looking at dumping a few Versal VP1902s in now that they have come out......but they are pricey$$$$

 

[zurk]

Wiring going in and some finishing stuff.

 

[zurk]

more finishing side view and some other boats also being finished.
