I do have two T105 golf cart batteries in the compartment under the cockpit. Waterlines are generally an estimate, until the boat is actually in the water. Terry-

One question, why is the water line too low? I haven't put my Telstar in yet. Did PCI Pailt it yoo low. I'm wondering if I have the same problem. Looks like a nice mod.

The ablative stuff I have on the boat right now is not so good. Currently, they're looking for a US-based distributor, but don't have one yet...so I had to pay air freight for the stuff. Very painful, very expensive. UGH... but if it lasts more than seven years, it will be worth it.

So what do you have to do to get it, smuggle it in or go to the UK? Will they ship to the rebel country? funny guy that T-man

The copper stuff sounds good. So what do you have to do to get it, smuggle it in or go to the UK? Will they ship to the rebel country?

No barnacles. And the 10 year-old gelcoat is just fine. Raising and lowering the mast is pretty simple thanks to the system consisting of two arms and a sense of balance.
