Paul had measurements and had special plastic made to store the lithium batteries in. His measurements were accurate!
The lithium set up is being tested down in the engine room right now. These batteries cost more, but weigh less and supply more power. This test battery weights 48 lbs (271 Amp hours). Next stage is to build a 24 volt (542 Amp hour) lithium battery. Basically 1,100 lbs of batteries are removed from boat and 200 lbs of lithium replaces those!
Our next major project is happening next week! STABILIZERS! Paul is prepping and installing pieces on the inside of the boat before we get hauled out. This is like four Christmases all at once!
Stay tuned for the next post.

We love expiry dates on boxed wine like this one when provisioning.
