Thanks to SEVEN I officially signed-up as I'm working on a refit of 1972 Hatteras 45 Convertible which is located in Aqaba, Jordan. My father acquired her in 1983. Unfortunately he is 92 with dementia, but we have great memories together.

The grand children are keen on a refit. I'm leading the project on their behalf.

I started with the engines that are Detroit Diesel 8V71T. God knows how many hours they've run. I've spent the past two weekends working with the team to get the starboard engine running. I will keep you posted on our progress. The last thing i want to consider is repower.

I'm seeking your advice if you can recommend a designer for a simple furniture layout in the deckhouse and cockpit. As you might imagine, this project is being executed with a limited budget.

Many thanks
