15,000 gallons a day. That'll take care of Lloyd's big shower heads on Far
Cove. Of course at $74,000 to start it doesn't fit our cheap streak..... -- Jim Woodward www.mvFintry.com .. w22 wrote in message ...

Glenn should have one built in a month or so and have schemes and photos of the working model posted by spring.... of course, by the time he is done is will probably cost him $80,000 to build it, but he can sell us the excess material and come out even!

Scotty from Smallboats.com You don't know how true that statement is. :-) Actually the total cost ended up about $2,500 but I think I blew about $300 on stainless high pressure fittings, valves and miscellaneous gauges and switches that were either wrong or not needed. OTOH, there is always somebody on eBay willing to take them off my hands. :-) -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

Glenn:
1) Would you send me a BOM of your watermaker and a list of the stuff you have left over? I haven't made up my mind what we're going to use, but maybe I'll just follow your lead. 2) I'll go halves with you on the 15,000 gallon a day job. We mount it on Fintry, go down to the Bahamas and undersell the local vendors at US$0.40 per gallon -- better water, too. That's revenue of $6,000 a day, out of pocket of about $300 (80kw genset takes eight US gallons an hour), and some miscellaneous expenses. We'll clean up, and pay for the unit, Fintry and Rutu in no time. This is a good illustration of why voyaging boats have large fuel tanks and relatively small water tanks. Watermakers will turn diesel into water at around 100:1, so the water tanks are only for safety while the watermaker provides comfort. Most coastal cruising boats have much more water than fuel. -- Jim Woodward www.mvFintry.com .. "Glenn Ashmore" wrote in message newsl6rb.10845$62.184@lakeread04...

Man, this group is the best! Starts off as a sarcastic, for sale,
troll, and turns into an "on topic" discussion on watermakers! Gotta love rec.boats.builders ! Long live free enterprise, long live free speech! Scotty, the backyard renegade |
