Hah, yup, that's him alright! He's got some great tunnel boat racing stories. Him and another guy Tim from Venetion use to race SST class back In the day. Don't worry about the computer skills, boating is where it's at. I send a pm with my address. Did you have the gun back when u lived in Ohio?

[ATTACH=CONFIG]525325[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]525326[/ATTACH]Well, thought I would post some updates since boy is sleeping
Over winter or should I say spring I decided to put some glove box access in the center console and install shore power. For AC power I had to relocate my DC distribution and do a lot of re- wiring...

For AC power I really was not sure on how to wire it. I have never done home wiring and new it is much different than DC power...?i needed breakers, volt gauge, and reverse polarity light. To speed up the wiring I bought a pre-wired panel from Great Lakes skipper. This helped greatly. It gave me a great baseline to work with. Next item needed were panels. I broke out the poster board and made some templates. Luckily I remembered how to create mechanical drawings. I fully dimensioned them and sent them out to Steve at Innotech. Sine they were detailed dimensioned, he was able to kick them out quickly. Here some pics of panels and wiring...
