All wiring and clean-up pretty much done in the main panel and behind. All the new systems (Gens, h2O Maker, block heaters, etc) all have new...
Sorry to hear you are stuck in Italy. Sounds like a pretty dire situation there. We are moving forward presently. Engines are in and preliminary...
The reason the number of "cases" is so low is because the US doesn't have enough tests. Most states have a few hundred at best and it takes two...
I'll get it sorted out with them. This was the first call and discussion about trials. I'll report back when we get closer and have a definitive plan.

I agree with this totally! When I was looking for a boat I didn't think I wanted a teak cockpit deck. But that's what my Donzi had and I liked...
