Specs: Roshambo is a Cal 3-46, as far as i can figure out there were about 25 3-46's made and close to 100 2-46's made. Both the designer and the manufacturer retired to a Cal 46. They are 46 feet long, 12'6" wide. Roshambo has a bridge clearance of 55 feet, draft of 5' and displacement of 31,000. Cutter rigged and driven by an 85hp Perkins she is a pretty quick bluewater cruiser.
And our money supply was put into the hands of private entity's. I will provide you with two haunting quotes to mark this occasion.

Just wanted to thank everyone that checks in and drops us a line. I was just going through the logs on the site and believe or not svroshambo.com gets 30,000+ hits each month. Anyhow since I know so many are watching I'll make sure I watch my spelling :)
Worked VERY well, I am happy with the purchase. Amy went up this time and did the port spreader light and the port flag halyard.
Been looking for a 300Dt for about two years, finally found one in amazing condition. Interior is perfect, only 160k miles on it, couple of small dents in the body. It's a 1984 300d, pics are here http://svroshambo.com/v/benz/
So yea it's my birthday and I decided it was time to do an oil change since my amsoil synthetic oil showed up. I replaced both the diesel engine oil with amsoil synthetic marine diesel engine oil and the transmission with full synthetic. I had been leaning this way for quite sometime, if for no other reason then the fact that the synth oil won't mix with water like dino in the event some water gets in there. Also the tranny fluid synth dissipates a shitload more heat then regular dino.
Hells yea, works great, was a hell of a lot of work, but i am glad it's starting to come together. I am not finished, but i am able to test it. I still have to mount it and I need to make the front cover with filter setup.
I am also going to do some wiring while I am at it, I bought a new panel to power the sub panel and installed a second 30 amp tail, i really like the new Blue Sea Panel and am going to buy a new panel to replace my existing incoming setup.
Well I have started working on the next project... installation of the forward a/c unit. I have started it and have the spot and duct holes drilled. Still have a lot of wiring and plumbing to do however. Will be adding another shore power inlet and another small breaker panel.
We got our new tempurpedic mattress from Artisian Mattresses, awesome, these guys have got to be one of the best organizations I have EVER dealt with, they kept me posted throughout the process, finished the job AHEAD OF the promised due date and did an amazing job. It's such a great experience when you deal with a company that knows how to take care of it's customers and does a good job that they should be proud of.
Well I've had a lot of projects going, first one was to remove the crappy bed in the aft cabin, make a template and send it off to have a tempurpedic mattress made. I've got the aft cabin all tore apart and we are sleeping in the vberth. Next I bought another a/c unit, 16,000 btu unit at an auction, thing is basically brand new and it only cost me $46 bucks LOL For a 2300 a/c unit. Anyhow as soon as I get the aft cabin together it's time to tear the vberth apart and install the new a/c unit!
Yack, what a rape thing cost me a fortune, for whatever reason the last month or so I have been cleaning the thing every damn day. Anyhow the new pump is much quieter I really like it.
