Hi Alex, thanks for your message. I have not posted enough to send you a PM, so maybe this will work! I remember how excited I was to find other clipperites here, we are a small orphan community! The previous owner of 'Far Cry' was helpful and encouraging when I found him here. We also found a sister ship in south FL and went to see her as she was repowered with electric.
Our one year project has dragged into three years now, but she's in the backyard at our daughter's house so we don't have to travel to work on her BUT we also don't have to 'rush'. We bought a Thunderstruck electric motor but not the batteries yet, we are looking for a marine electrician or even an RV electrician to help us out. One positive of a slow refit: the batteries and solar keep getting better and less expensive, lol.
We have pix of our progress on a blog somewhere that I can share AND we even found and spoke with the original owners, that was inspiring! We are in central FL where are you located? I can't wait to hear about your gal! Feel free to move this conversation to email if you like laura at wowva dot com ~Cheers, Laura & Jeff
