[C320-list] Sound Reducing Paint Reports?

[Adam Weiner]

Herb, and whatever you do don't bring up battery chargers, propellers or
shafts.  

Query:  If you lock five C320 owners in a room to discuss folding props,
what do you end up with?  Answer, twelve different opinions, and one of
them with a yellow thong on his prop.

Over and over I see these comments about noise reduction, I just don't
get it.  What's the phrase, oh I think it's "get a life."  I have never
since I have owned this boat ( eight seasons) cared about engine noise.
I love this list but just don't get this issue, I think it's a Non!
What an anal issue.  Why don't we talk instead about port list, or PHRF,
or dripless seals, or wait a minite I think there is another inane
issue.  Sorry, I couldn't help it. Sincerely, Herb Creech Cloud Chaser
