More Innovator Info
The Innovator as I first saw it.
And then it got better...this is how we did it!!!
First we gutted the interior
Then built in a new one
Next was the repower- Cummins 6 BTA 5.9 - 300 HP
Then came a month in the yard with a huge work list
But under all the grease & grime...I loved the look, feel and potential
It got stripped & restriped
"Black holes" cleaned out
It was a big job!
After a month it was all starting to come together
Back to the water & more work
Fist sea test 30kts...WOW!!!
But still more work!!
Me, Jim Jenks- Founder of OP clothing & designer/builder of the Innovators...he loved the progress
A long list of new new equioment topped by a Furuno Nav Net with 48 mile color radar & VHF
My boat partner Matt...checking up forward
Almost done - we even have a custom engraved chain locker door
We've got antennas 
New window inside
New window outside
With the new 4 blades...smooth and fast !!!
port engine hatch rehinged & the new panel fills the holes from the old vents
One of several fire extinguishers put into place
The support for the upper crew bunk through bolted into place
New salon door officially installed & checked off the list. New head door not shown
Head: We've done a huge amount of work including a custom teak framed mirror, new faucet with shower attachment, teak holder for sanitizer, new quiet flush marine toilet (not shown
The final touch for the overhead console with a custom mount to hold my
I-Pod ...all my favorite songs...no problem.
Today, the "Pacific Edge" 31' Innovator is complete, ready to fish and needs a new home!!!
