Purchased the boat in January (Bristol 41.1 CC). 9 months and $45k later, the refit is almost complete. New chainplates and lifelines. Prop shaft, steering cable and centerboard cable replaced. New engine room fire suppression system. New aft head. All new electronics including radar and AIS and upgraded autopilot Rewire the 12v system with new chargers and battery isolation. Strip bottom to the gel, barrier coat and hard bottom copper paint.

Now it’s time for the cosmetic work (blood, sweat and tears). And sailing, lots of sailing.

I cannot recommend these vendors enough. All were extremely good and all local to Corpus Christi: Gulfstream Marine, Coastal Bend Yacht Services and North Shore Boat Works. Thanks to them all!
