[C320-list] C320.......air conditioning

[Michael Ferguson]

If you pull into a dock in the Bahamas or Keys at night the no seems and
mosquitos will eat you alive. A/C is the only way to stay a one of their
marinas or even in a small harbor like Boot Key, Florida.
Yes the 2000 is a 4 stroke and the sound is such that you can talk in you
normal voice standing next to it. The tank last about 5 hrs.
