It seems that you have done most of the research that I have been in the process of doing for the last 6 Mo. And have certainly done a more complete job concerning the live aboard aspects than I have been able to accomplish. I have a personal question and you can contact me direct if you prefer [rtspeed@snet.net]. What was the total cost for Yum Yum and did you have any additional expenses that were not anticipated after delivery? Aprox. What are your monthly expenses not counting marina fees to operate and live aboard? Ted Doubleday rtspeed@snet.net
