For those of you who have NOT been watching the building of a Marinaut boat at their website or on FaceBook, you should be!! :thup

You might need to "friend" them on FB, for you old codgers and codgeresses, it's not all that hard. If I can do it, you can too. Sign up and enjoy. [this is NOT an endorsement of FB, it's just a tool to keep track of your grandkids (and maybe grandparents too@!))

Very detailed construction photos posted daily (at least on FB), extremely interesting and informative. If I didn't already have about 4 too many boats, I'd have one of those too! :disgust

Great job Les, wishing you many sales! :!:

Go LOOK You won't be sorry!!

CHARLIE and SALLY are absolutely correct. The quality of this boat in places seen, as well as in places normally overlooked, is phenomenal. In Les' Day 13 photos, for example, he shows the Blue Sea Systems ACR, Dual Switch and Safety Hub. The average person who buys a boat (like us until now) do not realize what is out there on the market, and would normally overlook such important details as these (expensive) components. In the stern of our old boat, we had a veritable sea of wires connected with wire nuts, fuses, electrical tape and an exposed wire block.  Our factory-installed Rule 1100 was directly connected to the battery via a 5-AMP Blade Fuse located INSIDE the battery box.  Water filled into the box at some point in time and caused the fuse to corrode allowing only 6 volts to pass, which was not enough to operate the pump in the automated mode.   So Blue Sea System's components are the way to go.

On Day 12 slide #3 is a good view of the high-quality stainless steel wipers, and if you look closely, you'll see the windshield wiper fluid nozzles. In our old boat, we used to stick our hand out the window and use a spray bottle to clear the windshield of salt. This was a rather inexpensive option, but shows the level of customization that customers can achieve in working with EQ Marine.

I was perusing the pics tonite and when I saw the picture of the fuel tanks and the steps I cringed a bit. those steps look to be an ankle and or shin getter. when being tossed around the cockpit while out on those not so nice wheather days trying to fish or shrimp or whatever, I can see those steps reaching out and biting me in the ankle or leg.

Hi Roger,

I suppose I should have written more about the steps, I sometimes assume everyone has seen the photos of Dave's Marinaut and knows what they look like.

What you see in the photo are just the step bases. To them we add tread material that has rounded corners so they're not going to "bite".

The steps don't sit further into the cockpit than the C-Dory 22 steps do (and the upper one is actually even more outboard). If it's a matter of protection we could always close in the space under the step as C-Dory does so one's foot has no way of going under the step.

In reality no one has hit them yet and having them open underneath (the bottom one anyway) makes it easy to clean out the cockpit.

Since each boat is built one-at-a-time for the customer it would be a simple matter to leave the steps off your boat. :wink: Then we could fabricate a ladder or steps or whatever would work best for you. Shoot for that matter I could enclose the inboard side and make a right proper staircase out of them.
