Jeff,
I'm still in the process of removing stuff and prepping the engine area for the install. I'm taking pictures as I go and will be adding a folder to this group for some of the pics as I get further along. The B-30 can be a little deceptive, the bilge seems deep, but it is very narrow, in fact the entire lower hull is more slender than modern boats. As a result, finding low places for batteries is a challenge.
One excercise worth doing is taking your current house battery and seeing how it fits in various places around your boat. You'll get a new appreciation about how large group 27 or 31 battery is, and the funny shapes of cabinets and other hidden areas on your boat.
Fair winds,
Eric

> Do you have, or can you take, some pictures of the conversion? A friend of mine has a Cheoy Lee B-30 in RI, and I would be interested in showing some pictures to him. His boat is a little heavy for the size, but at least that boat has a nice, big bilge for the batteries.
