[C38] bad news

[Don Strong]

Pierre: Bad news indeed. My recommendation is to pull the boat and 
replace the strut. I recommend Berkeley Marine Center for less corporate 
(no maxis) and more personal service. Cree is a cool guy. KKMI has been 
good to me too, but it is a big operation and you will feel like a prole 
next to the craft of plutocrats.
Regards, don
