Engines

"SAVVY is powered by a pair of rebuilt (2001) Cummins 903 diesel Motors that are flawless. Ships power is provided by a 2001 Northern Lights 8KW generator.

The freshwater system has been upgraded to 400 gallons, and with the water maker, freshwater should never be a problem. The water pumps were upraded to smart pumps on a manifold system so if you were ever to lose a pump, the backup will kick in.
