[Karl Mielenhausen]

I've been pleased with Bayshore....

Torresen has some great search tools but their prices seem to be higher....

I usually get my impellers (Globe 418 for my engine) from Defender.

>> My 320 is 10 years newer than "Warr De Mar ", but I also also agree the 320 is a great boat. I have raced/campainged boats from Santana 20's, Olson 30 (owner), Santana 3030 (owner) to 12 Meters (Valiant US-24), now in Marblehead?. I am sure alot of you have similar experience. Good old days. Always thought that I would never own a "HunterBeneLina". I have done alot of research. The 320 sails by Cat 34s, and stays with well sailed Cat 36s, and J32s in some wind. Just got back from Prisoners Harbor on Santa Cruz Island. On the way out was blowing 20 plus on the nose, 4-5 foot swell with 2-3 ft wind waves for 20 miles. A friend with a J32 had to put into a harbour 6 miles closer and well to leeward. WUUS!! Do due diligence and maintainence. As my late father-in-law said, as I was considering wether to get into the stock market ," You can never know enough about the subject you are interested in". It took me another 10 years before i made that plunge. Still don't know enough, otherwise I would own a Tartan 3800.
>> After 4 hours bashing to weather, standing up, I am going to Costco, buy and cut to fit, one of those mats used by folks who stand on their feet all day. Good upgrade for me as the closest cruising harbour is 18 miles away . Also saves the aft portion of the cockpit for that stern anchor chain. 18 miles may seem like along way but when the Blue, Grey, and Humpbacks are running and you can watch the Eagles it is all worth it. Wouldn't replace this boat for another in the same size range.
