Yes, started production this January. Flue gas to air heat exchanger with fan bank driving air between 36 3/8” Dia. Tubes in which the flue gas travels. A yet to be tested flue gas to water heater stacked on top.
Cool boat Peter! Interested to know what the story is behind the rudder design … not sure I’ve seen that before. I’m guessing it has something to do with a trim tab self-steering.
Yes, the rudder has a trim tab for a self steering gear. It is not original to the boat. The self steering was designed and manufactured by a previous owner. I am still learning how to use it properly.
Beautiful Dennis 👏
I love that stove top heater. Custom?
