$1M Charter Catamaran Conversion -PART 2- Top Secret (electric) Boat Tour

Part 1: https://youtu.be/o6kOvjS1ytE
0:00 Galley and Salon
1:45 Starboard Side Guest Cabins
3:00 Study / Office (Mistake)
5:00 Owners Cabin
7:20 Systems Room, Spectra Watermaker, Inverters and Batteries
10:00 How much this cost, time and investment
14:00 Electric Drives are the Future

This is the kind of project I would take on if time and money were no object. This is not your average charter catamaran conversion. We deep-dive into the details of the Voyage 580, Top Secret.
Four electric motors, the biggest solar array I’ve ever seen, a massive lithium battery bank, and a million dollar investment, the boat is remarkable and so is the owner Rean Snyman, who along with friends and a couple laborers, completely rebuilt the boat in two years. It’s an amazing boat.
I learned a lot talking to Rean about Top Secret. We get into the nitty-gritty in this walk through, talking details about carpentry, paint, gelcoat, wiring, A/C, electric drives from OceanVolt, sail handling, etc., etc. Prepare to geek out a bit on boats and systems!
