120A? That would take all 30HP that motor had.

It'll do 70A 1t 1800 RPM according to the site. This Dom Moyer guy really knows his stuff when it comes to these old motors.

Run the motor to primarily charge. Propulsion is a side benefit...

Phil is waaay over my head on the stereo technical stuff. I'll take your word for it, that it will sound great!

He lost me at RS-232. Can you even find a laptop w/ a serial port anymore? What's next, amps w/ bluetooth?

Is there an app for that?



Actually I do alot w/ RS-232 still. I keep an old laptop around just for that.

X2 All I can say is I bet it is nice

X3, but I sure would like to see and hear it. He already has very nice accessories on board, based on the first pic in toys posted yesterday.

Automatic tiller pilot
Cockpit speakers
19" flat screen with DVD
Surround sound theater with sub on interior
Terrestrial TV antenna for on-air broadcast reception
65 PSI pressurized fresh water system with 30 gal fresh tank
Push button toilet, (no sense trying to tell the girls to open this valve, then pump x times, then close this valve, etc)
Color-changing LED mood lighting, (gotta still install this)

What else do I need? I can add a 1-mile FM radio station so that other folks rafted up can tune in.

I am also looking at a longer-term fun idea involving ice. when at the dock, plugged in to shore power, I want to have a freezer full of ice. That ice will have a copper coil buried in it plumbed with antifreeze. Elsewhere in the boat would be a pump and an automotive heater core. Pump the antifreeze through the tubing andd voila, you gots AC that requires no power when sailing. When back to the dock, just plug in and re-freeze the ice.

Sounds like some fun times ahead of you Phil!

I'm running close for a 12:00 meeting. Later!

[philwsailz]

I know what I need. Specifically a bigger lake to sail on... I would hate to give up my neat spot I have now though...

On the road again.....

Wyoming has no state income tax and a 4% sales tax, They get most of their revenue from Oil, Gas and Mineral taxes
Mt has a State income tax but no Sales tax and when you register any Boat, boat trailer or RV you have the option to register it permanently in MT for a very low fee.
In Wyoming you need to register and get taxed on all property annually

People in Colorado know this and buy those big $500k luxury coaches up there and register them there so they don't get dinged with the taxes here.

What's next, amps w/ bluetooth?

I was thinking about this the other day - how cool would it be to have the head unit and amps talk to each other via bluetooth instead of RCA cables?

[AdaminMN]

I've heard some head units can link to another nearby head unit so both will be playing the same music.

I'm not sure it they use bluetooth for that or not, but it's still pretty cool.

No wires? That's my kind of install.
