Pics of the 27 in Chatham?

[kerneltugboat]

Not sure yet, I splashed it loaded with fuel to get the water lines, but that was it. I need a few more solid weeks of good weather and less software. I copied Todd on the spray rails, put them in the exact location as he did on his 27, so I should know soon.

A/C in the pilot house would be schweeeet.......I have not been following this project. What diesel do you have in it?

Capt. Brian,

It has AC, it is called Chatham Fog !! I have a Volvo Penta Heater that I may need even in the summer up here. The Engine is a VP D6-350 Jackshafted to a DPH drive with a G4 Propset (I think). Fuel is 150 gallons.

Is that the pilot house out of a shamrock openfish?

[kerneltugboat]

Yes,

It is a Shamrock Pilot house, I bought it on the side of the road for 400 bucks, it fit perfect. The Shamrock is set up to sit down in, so I had to build a 16" stand around it to be able to stand up. Bill Potter actually e-mailed me a few years back to ask who made it, so it must be OK !!! It is a little difficult to jig from, but the comfort makes up for it.

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Is the engine under the house with a jackshaft?
