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

[Stephen Kaplan]

I moved last Sept from South Beach (E104) after 20+ years to Marina del Rey.
Wonderful location. While San Francisco Boat Works is right around the
corner I used The Boat Yard at Grand Marina in Alameda (510-521-6100). Sarah
is a great office manager.  I found them to be knowledgeable, professional
and honest.

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.
