Zeta 26 Refit

[Fish-on]

I bought this classic Zeta 26 a couple years ago with twin Volvo AQ570's with the intentions of using it for a season then doing a major refit. I was fully committed to the rebuild and spared no expense with the project, I saved labor cost as I did everything myself with the exception of upholstery. I removed the command bridge, filled the dash and painted it. I replaced the transom, new 100 U.S gal fuel tank, new 35 U.S gal fresh water tank, new windlass, roller, Vulcan 9kg anchor, new rub rail, new flooring, new upholstery, new diesel furnace, new holding tank w/diaphragm discharge pump, new electric head, Vetus bow thruster, Lithium house battery, Victron DC/DC charger, Victron battery charger, Garmin 943XSV up and down, Garmin Fantom 18 radar, Zipwake trim system, custom made coosa board 36" swim grid, Seadeck on back deck and for the heartbeat a Volvo Penta D6-350 I had with low hours. So now for performance numbers, she cruises at 2850 RPM @ 32knots sipping 11 U.S gal/per hour and wide open she hits 43 knots, not to bad at all. This was a really fun project with very rewarding results.
