[C320-list] Information

[Brad Kuether]

This is more or less a useless reply I just like the fact that Don's and my 
boat "knew" each other at the factory...  :)


1. From old posts I understand the 320 lists to port. I have found that the 
Mark II behind me and I both list, his slightly more. Why?  Is this a design 
problem or is this just the effect of putting all that stuff in the port 
locker? I know it does not effect the performance,  just curious.

-I don't notice any list.  Except the one that keeps sending me Cat 320 
posts...  :)  You would think list to starboard as fuel and water are on 
that side.  Maybe I just don't know cause as I said I don't notice any.


2. How long does the 2 gal propane tank last? Is there a 5 gal tank that 
fits? I know my BBQ tank does not.

-I still have 90 lbs left.  I don't use it that much so can't give any 
meaningful reply.  HOWEVER, the small camp tanks that fuel my BBQ (Magma) DO 
fit in that space with the propane tank.  JUST enough to close the cover.

3. Has anybody had to rebuild  Maxprop blades? Cost?

-NOPE, bought a new Flex O Fold, 1800 bucks.  Best upgrade yet....

-Brad, Mary, Monica, and Jarod

As a new 320 owner I have a few questions.
1. From old posts I understand the 320 lists to port. I have found that the 
Mark II behind me and I both list, his slightly more. Why?  Is this a design 
problem or is this just the effect of putting all that stuff in the port 
locker? I know it does not effect the performance,  just curious.
2. How long does the 2 gal propane tank last? Is there a 5 gal tank that

3. Has anybody had to rebuild  Maxprop blades? Cost?
Tip: I found a nice cutting board that fit tinside the stove top. I hot 
glued some drawer liner I got from Costco to one side. Does not silde or 
rattle on the stove top. Planning to line some of my lockers with the stuff.
