[C320-list] insulating engine compartment

[Jack McDonough]

Capt. Diane:

Our 320 is Hull No. 947, so we're closely related. And, yes, the Yanmar 
diesel is noisy. I've been thinking of insulating ours, too, but haven't 
gotten around to it. (We've only had it for nine years.)  I'll be interested 
in the response to your query.
