- Time to enjoy the fruits of labor. She is running great and the family loves the boat. I am over the moon over this milestone but at the same time sickened by the "professionals" in this industry that no longer know how to diagnose problems and only know how to change parts. I would still be on the hard if I didn't learn how to do the majority of the work myself.
Guys, there is light at the end of the tunnel! There will still be plenty more to come but at least there will be some boat days in between.
Love this series and what you’ve done with the 28. We had one growing up, would love to have one now and do all the same retrofitting you’re doing. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
You have done a great job on her!
Had a blast out! It’s a hell of a feeling knowing every detail about the boat you are running as well as the confidence that comes with that
This is an epic build. Please More Bert 28 !!! I think you were good right up to the point you made the "It's so easy" comment lol.
Thanks! I haven't had much time to focus much energy on her but am in the works of putting together a new inverter and monitoring system so that I will be able to view what is happening with the vessel remotely and I plan on doing a video on that aspect. Luckily my wife gets my humor and didn't get upset with me over that comment and am thrilled that she is willing to learn the ropes!
@@nicolasmabru awesome! Looking forward to it !
I do believe the boy is the cautious type, as indicated around the seven minute mark.
1st thing I’d do on a 28 is replace the 4 sticks with 2, and get rid of the cable steering fit hydraulic.
However great boat!
Congrats!
Life Jackets! Kids should be in them while not in the cabin and especially underway.
you are absolutely right and the kids always have their jackets on while underway now
seems you were going 5000RPM.. what is your to speed?
its hard to see in the video but I'm actually at 4000RPM, getting 25-27kts WOT depending on conditions and 15-18knt cruise. Motors are Mercruiser 228 , with 17x16 3 blade props
Robbie didn't seem to enjoy the ride. A few more times out and he'll be asking to take the wheel. Looks like she runs great. A/C is not something that I'd ever use, especially up on the flybridge.
Robbie loves the boat but gets scared at speed for now when it’s not flat out, he’ll get over it. The flybridge AC is not something that is needed but since I did an oversized air conditioner, I had plenty of capacity for additional vents and it keeps the wife happy. I can’t imagine going out here in South FL without AC in the cabin but understand that it is much more livable in different climates.
Just bought one of these, what system and advice do you have for an AC system?
I just posted a video of the AC that I installed on board. There are many ways of doing this that will depend on what your plans are. Do you plan on cooling just the cabin or the flybridge as well? Will you be installing a generator or running off of batteries? If batteries, what engines are you planning on putting in or currently have? I have a Mabru SC17V but would do a 7k or 12kBTU for the cabin only depending on vessel location. I wouldn't do a generator and have my unit running off of my lithium battery bank
@nicolasmabru okay, so i am running Twin yanmar 4lh-ste 230HP, and I'd prefer not to run a generator, I'm only interested in cooling the cabin.
@@mariowood-martinez2746 What is your battery setup? Did you add a dedicated house? What is the Ah capacity and chemistry of your banks? would you like to have a dedicated bank for just the AC or incorporate with an existing bank? the ideal unit for that boat is the SC12DC. On a single 250AH (4D size) you will get 5 hrs of runtime with engines off. Your engines have 80A alternators that on paper, should be able to easily cover the draw of the air conditioner running (44A max @12v)
@nicolasmabru so I have 2 8DA Batteries, one for each motor. I would like to set up an incorporate a dedicated house battery for sure! Would love that piece of mind knowing that I won't be drawing from my motor batteries.
