HUGE REFIT at Just Catamarans for our Leopard 58! New Solar!! New Batteries!!

We spent the last month getting our New to Us 58 foot catamaran equipped for off grid living! We upgrade our previous gel batteries to lithium life force batteries, and added almost 3000 watts of solar power!! It has been a game changer. While we still absolutely have to be mindful of power consumption, our days of accidentally running the batteries down are a thing of the past! We also had a massive stainless steel arch built to hold our solar panels, along with a stainless davit system to lift our new dinghy. Our old dinghy was a 12 ft Highfield with a 25 hp engine. But we really needed something with more power. Our kids like to ski and wake board so we bought a 14 foot AB with 60 hp engine. The lift platform is not strong enough to lift the larger, heavier dinghy, which is why we had the davit installed. So now, we disconnect the dinghy from the platform, drop the platform, then drop the dinghy with the davits. Same with lifting. We hook up and lift the dinghy with the davits, lift the platform, then tie the dinghy down. This way, she is very nicely secured from the top and bottom, and doesn't bounce around at all!
And while Brent and Ana are handling the refit in South Florida, the littles and I are living it up out in the woods! We are visiting our old friends and hitting up some of our old stomping grounds. From baseball games to the county fair, we are soaking it all in... knowing this is going to be last of our hometown experiences for who knows how long!
