Trawler Life Live update video Lossigy Battery ordered bottom cleaned Solar panels Captains Choice

okay guys i just want to give you a quick update video of what's going on and everything right now because there's a lot of stuff going on and i haven't been doing a lot of videos with because you guys know what happened with uh danielle there is it's pretty sad actually but anyway i just want to let you know that she's recouping you know we don't know exactly everything yet and as soon as i do get updates i will post them for you guys so we're still in the phase of she's still going to the doctors they're still pumping her full of antibiotics and you know and that's i think it's still another eight days of the antibiotics uh and it's quite a process actually but she is at home with her uh grandparents and beverly has been with her i've only seen beverly twice in the last two weeks because she's just been taking care of danielle so on the boat here a couple things i got done is i got the bottom cleaned got a good report i did hit a few logs going down the mississippi there's no doubt about i think if you're going to take your boat down the mississippi you're going to hit some logs there's there's no way around it there's a lot of trash out there and you're going to hit something and you we heard it probably two or three times but anyway a really good report on the bottom of the boat here uh you know no no dent props or no concern that i have to go get the boat pulled out of the water and you know you guys know that we did half the loop in uh loot princess or about a third of the loop and then on this boat right here we've done the last 4 000 miles so in 4 000 miles on the complete river system no damage to our props or running gear everything looks good down there so we're good to go so i've been finishing up uh phil's boat and now we got the backstack painted today i'll go pull some of the tape off the back deck over there and then when yesterday i spent all day we're getting glenn's boat ready for america's great loop he's going to add a solar generator system i'm not going to call it a solar system because it's not going to really charge his batteries on the 12 volt side because he's got a big healthy bank of batteries and we're going to do a little horse trading and i'm gonna probably take the six volt batteries out of here we're gonna put it in his boat uh because these ones are brand new and then i'm gonna switch over to light pro fours but his his solar generator will be a light pro 4 battery so right now we're in the process of ordering that battery from the company i'll show you which battery we ordered and i'll actually put the link down here and i'll keep you guys posted on how the process goes because the only reason i bought this particular battery didn't go back with the renergie like i had on luke princess is because uh the shipping uh and they said they can get us this battery like in less than a month so we'll see i'll keep you posted let you know how it goes the only thing i particularly didn't like about this battery is there's no blue it's not bluetooth to my uh to to the phone so if everything works out though and checks out we will pick up one of these batteries for loot princess i'm going to get rid of all my 6 volt batteries out of loot princess here and i'm going to convert over to the light pro 4 uh and i'm going to get rid of my short power to uh um inverter power it'll be now it'll just be strictly turn the inverter on just just like i had loot princess set up i'm just gonna keep it simple kiss k-i-s-s keep it simple stupid if you play by those rules especially on these 40 year old trawlers i just find it so much easier i got a guy over here in another boat that has you know he went all vectron all auto transfers and it's not working either and i'm not saying you can't make these auto transfer switches work because the new boats all have them uh but you know i had problems on the loop i had problems you know i'm just i'm going to keep it simple kiss on these 40 year old trawlers they've got old wires in them they got old everything and i personally am just going to keep it simple and i'm going to separate my again by charging how i charge the live pro 4 battery i'll have nothing to do with the way the engine started i'm going to separate my two batteries so that each engine starts on its own battery my uh my house bank will be uh just two of those six volt batteries that pete picked up back there when we uh originally put the boat together and those that you know that'll that'll run my 12 volt side of everything without it because when i'm running the engines that's charging the batteries and that's all i need for those six volt lead acid batteries and then the solar system i put on here will run will charge my life pro 4 batteries along with i'll put also a um a um a vectron 25 amp probably uh plug-in controller so that i can charge the battery up fairly quickly so anyway that's all the pro projects that i have going on right now and i also i got my uh signed up i've turned in my paperwork so i'm officially selling boats for captain's choice and you can email me now at paul at captainschoiceusa.com and i'll get the email so send me an email i want to check it out and see if i get my emails so anyway also if you want to list your boat or you want to talk about a boat you know just give me a call and you see something down here and you need me to go look at it i'll go i will go look at it for you so anyway should be fun and exciting i love sam loved working with him loved spending that week with him out on the house but i hope you guys enjoyed those houseboat videos i sure had fun making them and it was a lot of fun uh with that crew right there so anyway peace out remember to live life with no regret i do thanks bye
