[C320-list] Perkins M30 Performance

[Mark Cole]

Thanks, Joe.  I’ve almost relocated to Port Townsend.  I have a slip at Port Hadlock marina starting November 1st.  Now I just need to wait for two good weather days to move the boat up. We are building a house in PT and should move everything up there by May.
