You went into detail how your system is hooked up and if I remember correctly, the outboard does not charge all 6 of those batteries. And, if I remember correctly again, you know how long you can troll before the trolling batteries need to be charged, shore powered charged? You are going to have to go into detail again. I am sure there are other gray-haired builders that don't remember the details either.

That's a big project you've been working on! Boat looks great. Interior and exterior. It must be so very satisfying to be getting closer to the finish line. Good luck with the final stages.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Wow! Just WOW!
Big difference, all the tools and equipment that doesn't belong really catches the eye. Maybe you should have had the wife helping paint the hulls, maybe you wouldn't have had such a hard time!

Looks amazing Dan! You have done yourself proud.
Just wondering do you have any guess as to the amount of man hours in it at this point?

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Gotta be near 10,000
I have worked on it full time for 5 years steady this August. Most weeks, I put in about 60 hours. Probably take 6 weeks off a year total. 47•5•60 = 14,100
But I had some hip issues in 2017 and paid some help for 5 years about 40 hours a month. So, maybe closer to 12,000 hours.
Brother said the other day I'm retired. Not really valid.

Re: Woods Skoota 32DM
Dan congratulations on the perfection and the pain you went through with your hip to finally finish a beautiful boat!!! I hope all goes well on Tuesday with the inspection and you are free and clear to head down the Big Muddy to your new home in Texas. Tom
