[C320-list] Port side coaming box?

[Jane & Ken]

Jeff,
   When the boat arrived from the factory to Lake Texoma I was there with my drill and saw ready to cut holes and "make the boat mine".  The port side area was "wasted" space so I had three boxes to install----purchased prior to the arrival of the boat---I only installed one, and used it for a cockpit VHF radio speaker, a volume control for the cockpit speakers for the stereo and for the VHF volume---It also works fine for bug spray and etc stuff/winch handles when at anchor.    The picture can be seen at yatchworld.com---boat currently for sale.
   A totally aside story is that when the boat arrived from the factory I started cutting holes and installing stuff I had planned to install to 'custom' the boat before it went into the water. The sales person (a friend of mine) Came up to the boat while I was cutting holes in it and asked me" Ken, you do plan on buying this boat don't you?" I had not yet given them the check for the boat----We still remain friends.  I have cut many holes since and drilled several holes to make OBUOY more useful.    Really can't believe I'm selling her.  Ken

Don, on OBUOY #219 the propane tank needed to be filled twice the first
year, the last fill was six years ago--your question is similiar to" how
long will a tank of gas last?", oh yes, that was the question---depends on
how much you use it.
Loading on the boat very much affects the list.  OBUOY has no list.  The
mast is verticle, other 320 owners ask why mine is straight--I tell them to
shift some weight.
I have the 3 blade prop, but rebuild kits should be available.
Welcome to the 320 owners group, you have a very fine boat that should
provide years of fun and there are many projects to make it more useful--A
coaming box on the port side was my first project even prior to writing the
check.    Ken
