ILLUSTRIOUS, Baltic 35

Summer 2004
Upon purchase of Baltic 35 ILLUSTRIOUS, her new owners immediately contracted JBY to replace the main engine.

As with all the re-powers we undertake, we recommend that after removal of the engine this is a suitable time to address other "confined" issues, such as insulation replacement, wiring & plumbing repairs, and re-location of components (strainers, filters, etc.) to more "user-friendly" areas, etc.

The transom was painted with the edges perfectly blended smooth so as not to see (or feel) a hard tape line. The new transom graphics were designed by the owners.

The boat was launched ahead of schedule, spent the remainder of the summer on a JBY mooring, with trips to the nearby islands.....what could be better?

This winter she will be returning for a new Lewmar hatches, and a stainless steel holding tank & system.
