That looks like a project that will keep you busy for a good bit, but without dreams life would be boring.
What all do you plan on doing with it and what are the long term boating adventures do you have planned?

I figure it'll take a year or so to complete.
First I'll put it in a lake and learn how to operate it...probably have to change a few things.
then my first goal is the Texas 200
depending on how that goes.
I want to do the loop
after that...who knows?
the bahama's? Tahiti?
Are you going to put in a heater?
maybe an AirConditioner..I live in south texas.
It can still get a tad chilly, I saw one stove on a RV channel and thought it was pretty neat for small places, it is called a cubic mini wood stove (takes real small pieces of wood).
When I get thru with that thing it'll have at LEAST an inch of foam insulation everywhere but the windows..and I might make shutters to go over them.
I figure body heat will keep it plenty warm down to about freezing...
(based on my experience in a less well insulated truck sleeper)
if it gets any colder than that...I'll have to consider something else.
Maybe a buddy heater?
You mean LeRoy and Bubba?
done that.
LeRoy HATES the cold...he'd crawl under the covers with me and curl up in my armpit...
he gave off a LOT of heat...kept me warm
Bubba...didn't like to be confined...when it got too cold for his liking...he'd sit on my chest...(or back..depending)
I had a cat in Alaska when I had to sleep in a 1976 Mercury Marquis Brougham (pretty nice digs for a car). He didn't like being confined either, but at 30 below zero, you couldn't have pried him off my belly with a spatula.
Din't have a sleeping bag, so we kept each other alive =p.
I hear that and have several who think I am their personal mattress!
I also have one who knows how to turn on the electric blanket and have woken up thinking I was in hell because he cranked it to max!
