I have been working on the boat, plus my job, plus my wife's business, plus my volunteer work.
I still have not got the title to the young man for the trailer, but Pat has reminded me again.
I have been fortunate to find items that I needed for the boat.
In a small town in North Carolina, I happened upon a lumber yard, that had teak plywood, they wanted to get rid of. For $90.00 bought two sheets of 1/2 inch. No bad.
Also purchased off E-bay Blue Sea breaker panel that was new. It retails for $220 at West Marine, but got it for $77.00. I was able to get a ORIGO single burner alcohol stove for $130.00 and it was new. West Marine's goes for $230.00. Also a Ritchie BN202 Navigator bulkhead compass for $77.00, though used it in go shape.
I found 200 foot of 12 gauge wire at the fairgrounds flea market in Raleigh where my has set up in the Atrium for the last 10 years doing Embroidery (Company is named E-Stitches, Inc) which cost $5.00. I will be able to use it to test circuits since it is not tinned.
Currently, this evening I and looking for five rolls of Primary Wire, Marine Grade Tinned Wire Boat Cable 10 AWG type 3 stranded tinned copper conductors with UL, ABYC and USCG approvals. At this point have a e-mail into a company to see who manufacture their stock,would prefer ANCOR, but if it meets the standards that is find.
Also found a web site http://www.electrician2.com/ that has calculators for marine electrical
usage. I have e-mailed the author to ask for permission to link to this site.
The pictures are of the items plus Pat hoops for her embroidery can be seen, sorry if that is confusing.
Finally purchase a 12 volt power supply, new (which I question,,,gotta to watch eBay, some folks are not upfront) but it was $11.00.
