The owners of this yacht were planning on making a trip around the Great American Loop. Therefore they recently made a substantial investment in the following equipment in order to run their air conditioning unit(s) at night without the need to run the generator:

Major upgrades to the electrical system

The (2) 12volt 80Ah batteries were replaced with the following :

(2) Epoch 12volt 460 Ah Lithium LiFeP04 Batteries (total of 920Ah)

A Victron Multiplus 12V/3000 Inverter Charger (Can have Solar MPPT added)

A CERBO GX with 5" Tech display screen

A Victron BMV720 Battery Monitor

An ARCO Zeus High Energy Bluetooth Alternator Regulator. The port engine alternator was converted to an external regulator.

All equipment was professionally installed by a local marine electrical company.

The media system was also upgraded. Additional equipment replacing the original electronics are:

Fusion Radio on helm, in cabins, and in salon.

JBL sound system with remote speakers in salon. Bluetooth remote enabling connection to televisions in both cabins and the salon.

A new Samsung Microwave/Convection oven replaced the existing microwave oven in the galley.

A Splendede washer/dryer combo was installed under the steps going down into the galley.

Approximately $2,000 of additional spares including filters, belts, zincs, etc. will remain onboard the vessel to be used by her new owners.

Note: A new set of bronze propellers are also on board as a backup pair. These are not included with the purchase price of the vessel but are negotiable with the purchase.
