WOW, that is truly awesome. I must tell you that in my younger days, the first boat I ever bought was a 27 foot Catalina. I also thought I could sail it across the Atlantic and I didn't even know how to sail. I literally mean that I had never been sailing before that. Well, I quickly found...
Those Ellings sure are nice, but even the cheaper used ones start at 200k and most are 300k. A decent condition 36 ft sea ray can be found for 25k to 35k. You could buy a whole fleet of sea rays for the cost of a single Elling.

Thanks for the replies. I do see the fuel requirements being an issue.
But, how about this idea:
You start with a Sea Ray 360 with an aft cabin. First, you replace the two massive V-8's with a couple little 2 or 3 cylinder diesels that can idle along for days at 1300 RPM and use less than a...
If there is not an outlet to plug into, then you will probably need to run wires up there to make an outlet. It is unlikely that reaching in there and pulling out the wires for the engine or bilge area is going to help much.

If you do know of some one having done it, how big was their boat, and what style was it?
I've been debating with a...
