Survey Continued...

Next the surveyor moves on to the interior of the boat and the on board equipment. While underway on the sea trial, the engines are checked to see that they are running properly and there are no leaks of any fluids. The genset is running with a load from the air conditioning electric cooktop, etc. The plumbing is tested included all toilets, sinks, washer and dryer, microwave/convection oven and dishwasher all are operating normally. The GH-47 has a large galley with full size appliances.



Galley....


Stairs to the pilot house..



And the pilot house...(the L Settee makes into a queen size bed if needed) with storage underneath, the  sunshades on the windows to keep the sun from damaging the furniture.


Behind the pilot house is the watch cabin with a queen size bed...


Plenty of cabinets for cloths and a half bath to the left.


At the foot of the watch cabin bed is a fold down TV (down in this picture).


The TV raises up for viewing and more storage underneath. The boat has over 100 compartments for storing lots of gear and supplies.

The saloon is very large (16 foot wide), the dog does not go with the boat...


There is  a large flat screen TV with surround sound for movies and satellite TV tat tracks the satellites in the sky as the boat is on the dock or on the move. The sole of the boat (floors) are Teak wood and Holley. The walls look like bead board but are actual solid bulkheads made of fiberglass. The white color we like for the light and large feel and can be clean simply with a Mr Clean Magic Eraser. So many boats look and feel like a trailer on the water but the Great Harbour feels and is very substantial which provide a feeling of safety and comfort. We also like the pass through to the galley. 

This is the view from the galley sink looking into the saloon. Lots of windows will afford and open and airy feel while a the dock or while cruising. The door lead out onto the aft cockpit..



The cockpit even has a third set of engine controls to use when backing into a slip.


Stairs leading to the pilothouse..


Master Cabin with seven foot ceilings...


With a built in desk...


And a master cabin with ensuite head with full size shower....

Guest cabin with queen size bed and Pullman's style fold-down bed...



The engine room is spotless! Lots of room to move around the engine and get to the systems...


And the engine room can be entered through a mahogany door in the utility room 



The a fly bridge is great for warm summer days...and nights....


We cant wait for summer to come!

Well the survey went fine with no major issues noted. So next we will fly down and run the boat on the St Johns River to be sure all is in order then we will figure out how to get the boat 2000 mile north back to Indiana!
