It’s been two years since The Captain’s Black Watch 26 flybridge was on the water. Since then, she’s been towed down to Victoria for some ambitious upgrades. We enlisted Dan Leonti and his crew at East Coast Boats to make it all happen. The crew's job list included: removing the old 450-litre fuel tank and replacing it with a 700-litre one, removing the cockpit engine box and lowering the floor, fitting a Gineico Quick X3 Gyro, building a live bait tank, removing the swim platform; and building a massive hull extension designed by Paul Bury to fit two new Mercury outboards.
