      @saltybushwacker2023 13 дней назад

      @alexanderscott2567 YES... They both do the same thing....BUT the the tabs are used a lot less now(mostly to correct a port or starboard tilt due to load) The foil keeps the nose down and helps plane the vessel without the drag the tabs create. I found it's gives me better MPG and better handling. Just in my experience on this boat. Not a massive difference from just having the tabs, but I notice it and would do it again. PLUS this is only a 20 ft boat with a 14" setback jack plate and a heavy new 200 hp 4 stroke suzuki. I probably would not see as much benefit on a 24 ft boat.

    Is this an inverter generator? They’re typically way quieter than a standard generator. Glad you’re happy with it. I’ve been there until I got my old flat head 4 cylinder Kohler back running. It’s way better to me. There’s pros and cons both ways. We’re up at Pickwick Lake and park in coves. I love to hear the frogs and crickets Last generator I had was like a German tank running onboard. 😂

    • @saltybushwacker2023
      @saltybushwacker2023 16 дней назад

      @MrCornbread108 yes it is....on board is quite and more convenient, but the portable is easy and cheap to replace with no salt water cooling. BUT eventually the solar is install will handle everything and the generator will be run only when supplement a break in sunshine. Probably something like a 48v 6500kw solar setup with 6 - 8 450 watt panels...

    I just found your RUclips videos! I have always loved the house boating life.Your boat looks to be in fantastic shape for a Gibson. I have one too, but it is a trailerble type boat and not a Gibson. My boat is aged a little as well, so I had to put a new roof on mine and some remolding on the inside. To myself it’s just as good as a new one without the new payment to go with it!!! It’s much smaller than yours and only has a 115 Suzuki engine. It’s 28 feet long and 8feet wide from pontoon to pontoon. It’s also a tri-toon boat. By it being smaller I can store it in my front yard out here in the country .It is going to have to do for me.😊

    We did pretty much the same and pulled our worn out Kohler generator. I installed almost 6 kWh of lithium batteries, what lasts us several days. If needed, we would fire up a portable generator to recharge them. We‘re in Michigan, though, a/c therefore isn‘t as much of a concern. The inverter would power the a/c only or a few hours, we would then either have to shut off the a/c or fire up the generator.

    Florida native here who has watched your videos but hasn't been down to the Keys in a long time. I'm closing out some family affairs and looking to the future. I lived on several trawler and sailboats years ago when I was in the Navy and miss it. When I retired in 2000, a college classmate and I took his 24' Sea Ray Amberjack down the ICW from his house in Merritt Island to The Galleon in Key West. We stopped at Lorelei's on the way down. I remember that it's 454 Chevy was very thirsty! I'm really interested in your proposed outboard repower of the Mystic; there aren't many videos out there on houseboat repowers and the engines have gotten really good!
