Here are a\u00a0\u00a0few photos of different details on FPB 64s number three and four. We will start with the swim step extension on the fourth boat, shown above. This boat is being built under survey, to Australian New South Wales rules. As such, there are numerous details required by the authorities, so the boat can be chartered. One of these is four rather than three lifelines.<\/p>\n

If you have small children aboard this might make sense.<\/p>\n

The owner of number four is an avid fisherman which is where the swim step extension comes in, and this custom fish cleaning station.<\/p>\n

The extension should help when landing the big ones. We’d like to order 15kg of Wahoo and another 15 kg of Mahi Mahi please.<\/p>\n

The mast on the fourth boat is hinged just above the awning framework so she can pass under a bridge near the owner’s mooring.<\/p>\n

There is a powerful depth sounder\/fish finder transducer to be installed within this fairing.<\/p>\n

\"Oct-2010-FPB-64-3-and-4-108.jpg\"<\/p>\n

The wiring for the transducer will come up through the top of this pipe which is above the waterline.<\/p>\n

The rules require that engine room surfaces have a fire protection blanket or coating. Hence the silver protection over the sound insulation.<\/p>\n

The white pump is for fire fighting.<\/p>\n

Back in the engine room, there is an extra valve on the fuel system manifold for transferring fuel to the dinghy for a diesel outboard.<\/p>\n

\"Oct-2010-FPB-64-3-and-4-112.jpg\"<\/p>\n

We are aboard the third FPB 64 now for comparison. This is the standard fuel system manifold.<\/p>\n

\"Oct-2010-FPB-64-3-and-4-110.jpg\"<\/p>\n

The engine room is now essentially complete.<\/p>\n

The aft bunk on number three is a hair wider, accomplished by extending the top. The drawer front has been left in the standard location to preserve floor space.<\/p>\n

There is also a sea berth across the aft bulkhead. It looks small in the photo, but will work well both as a bunk and shelf for guest sea bags.<\/p>\n

We’ll close with a photo of a part of the wiring harness connection system. The back of the main DC panel is exposed on the bulkhead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
