Georgs, Thank you for the kind welcome. For starters I lived on the water on the east coast of Florida from 1970 to 1995. Did extensive fishing, cursing and diving in the Bahamas and the Florida Keys. My company moved me to Raleigh,NC and I retired in 2004 with 41 years in the computer business. When I left Florida in 1995 I move my 36' Mainship to the west coast of Florida and cruse the waters around Sanibal and Boca Grand. I recently purchase a 1998 46" Kevlacat with twin 370 Cummins which I keep at Kill Devil Hills in the Outer Banks. The Boat needs interior refurbishment, minor mechanical maintenance, and a good cleaning. Since the boat was made in Australia I am hoping I can make some contacts through your forum. I also plan to post problems I run into and ask the group for opinions and solutions. I belong to your T&T group and the Yahoo Mainship sites also and find the resources invaluable.

I hope you'll find Power Catamaran List useful and enjoyable. Don't hesitate to post about your Kevlacat 46. An older boat can be a challenge that leads to satisfaction. --Georgs -- Georgs Kolesnikovs Power Catamaran World http://www.powercatamaranworld.com
