[C320-list] SF Mechanic? Other South Beach C320 Owners?

[Doug Treff]

Joel,

Welcome to the C320 forum!

You've come to the right place. A more helpful group of people you won't 
find anywhere else. Most likely any problem you're having has alread 
been had by someone else. Don't be afraid to ask questions, and also 
learn how to search the forum archives here:

You've made an excellent choice of boat. Your C320 will serve you well 
and you'll get many years of enjoyment out of her.

I live too far away to take you up on the lunch and beer thing but I bet 
the line will be forming to the left from all the SF bay folks on here.
