Right Max - the boat had been refused by the dealer who ordered it and
it was sitting at the factory outlet a Marina del Rey. I had a 43 foot
twin engine cruiser type houseboat in the Delta. Catalina took the power
boat in trade. I commissioned the boat myself. I hired Kevin Miller and
Eric Bowman of North sails to rig the mast. Joe Launie/Macavity
