Two years ago, Tony Eyrich, a general contactor who lives in Phoenix, Ariz., with his wife, Suzie, bought a 2002 Eliminator Boats 36 Daytona catamaran. It was a boat that, Eyrich, a self-described perfectionist who previously owned a 32-foot Sleekcraft, a 28-foot Sleekcraft and a 25-foot Nordic, had always wanted. But it needed some updating.
And so began a yearlong renovation/repower odyssey for the good-natured 32-year-old.
