I just read through this whole thread... wow, what a great project! Very inspirational as I will be doing something similar (only with more of an initial outlay.

Crystal Blue... only from the sounds of things the boat's been away from the dock a lot! That's great!
P.S. thanks blt2ski for keeping the thread updated about status.
