Here it goes..

Welcome,

This blog is about my boat project which I bought recently. I'm about to describe all refurbishing I'm going to do for the boat. I have all winter to get it done. Plans are to get it in the water next summer. This same content can be found in finnish from Moottorivene.info forums at: http://www.moottorivene.info/keskustelu/projektit/seiskari-s23a-projekti-t5603/0/

This boat model is Finnish made Seiskari which is 23 feet long and weights about 1500kg. It comes with Bukh 36hv marine diesel engine. It will probably reach almost 10 knots speed with that engine. Fuel consumption should be quite reasonable somewhere around 3 to 4 l/h at cruise speed which is nice considering diesel price at the moment.

There can't be found that much information about Seiskari from the internet. Company was established in 1979 and they have been publishing new bodels till recent years 2010 and -11. So at the moment I don't have much to say about this boat company. If you know something about the company and how much they have been producing during the years etc. it would be interesting to know.

This is my first blog. There are several motives for me to make this. I found other peoples project blogs and sites extremly helpful and interesting whenever I'm about to do some own projects. I would always like to find more detailed project diaries than I ever actually find on the web. So now I want to do my part and try to do as informative, helpful and inspiring blog as I can. Second motive is to document this project for my own use. It would be nice to remember all of this after many years. Also if I share this with others I will feel more obliged to do frequent and decent updates. Of course if anybody have thoughts or hints about about this project feel free to share. It would be appriciated. :)
