We have an engine!!!

When we arrived at the boat yard this week there was no sign of Muleless - she has now been moved back into the floating dock for easier all round access.

Last Monday the engine arrived and Mark and Martin wasted no time getting it into the engine bay. We are having a hydrid engine from Hybrid Marine, and this is a first for MGM - so they are looking forward to fitting everything and seeing how it all works!
The engine is a Beta 43 with the hybrid attachment.

Inverter/charger etc part of the electrical bits for the hybrid system.

There has been excitement in the galley area too - not only have the worktops been fitted but also our sink and hob!
Worktops.

Ceramic inset sink.

Induction hob.

At this stage of the build there is a lot going on in the background, so not so much to see that changes every week.
So its watch this space to see what happens next week!

  1. Hi Gary,
    Muleless is beginning to look a fantastic boat, you must be really excited right now. Got to ask how did you arrive at her name please?

    1. Hi Steve and Chris
      Nice to see AmyJo progressing at last - we will watch with interest.
      We named Muleless after a drink! To explain - a Moscow Mule is Vodka, ginger ale and lime, but when you take out the alcohol it becomes a Mule - less (the alcohol)!!! And of course we have no mule to pull our boat!! Clever or what! (well we thought so).
