            The previous owner (PO) had done a great deal of work on Phoenix Hunter.  As mentioned, the teak planks had been removed from the side and fore decks.  The screw holes that were revealed were filled with epoxy, an awl grip surface was then applied and a non-skid surface applied to the deck.  The PO then cut out the 2 old black-iron fuel tanks and replaced them with 4 aluminum tanks with an increased capacity of 760 US gallons (2880 litres).  With the installation of a fuel polishing system, fuel can be transferred between the fuel tanks as it is filtered.  The engine room was painted, re-lighted, and new sound insulation and a Reverso oil change system installed.  He installed a combination UV and filtering system for the fresh water.  Also installed were a new generator, new toilets, new DC fridge and freezer units, new oven, new black-water plumbing, and 2 new zones for the Webasto Hydronic heating system.  The heating system also provides for force air directed on the wheelhouse windows. Last but certainly not least is a new helm console in the wheelhouse with the electronics completely rewired.  Here is the show-and-tell.

Aft (left of photo) and Forward (right of photo) fuel tanks on the port-side.  The large blue, large diameter fuel lines are for fuel polishing sytem (in and out) the smaller diameter lines are for the return fuel from the main engine.  The "Reverso" oil change system makes short work of changing the oil in the main engine and transmission.  On the far right of the image and mounted on the tank is a Balmar Digital Duo charge and a Balmar Max Charge MC-612 multi stage marine regulator.
