Owner bought the boat in 99  
If the clock could be turned back, would owner buy again? Absolutely! Currently having the only problem I've had. And I created this reality. Steering came loose or broke. (haven't looked closely yet) Had a really bad day -- short version is I fell off the boat onto another at the start of the day and fractured two ribs. Later couldn't get the anchor up so cut it loose because weather becoming foul. Very shortly after that lost steering. Thank God for Seatow. They were great but by the time they arrived I was hard aground and ended up bending the rudder so bad that it won't turn past mid. position. Several questions arise from this really bad day-- 1) Is there a kit for the cable assembly? 2) What is the interior construction of the rudder like? Can I put pressure on the whole assembly to try to straighten it out? What is the best forum in which to ask these questions.  
Gear that's been added Roller Furling converted to Natural gas from CNG A/C
