Hi,
We are pleased with the informal review and all the positive comments.
The seat support holders were redesigned and Skip as well as others with
this problem have been notified.

Just a followup from the owner of the company. He continues to confuse
me with posters one or two attributions below mine, but the inference is
that he's sent you info about your seats.

Follow up directly to him if not. I expect he'll take good care of you.
Meanwhile, Sandy, you may hear from me earlier than later, as originally
expected. One of Dan's comments in followup in RBCruising was that since
they owned the PB, they'd never taken their inflatable out of the lazarette!
Others in that thread indicated they had both and were glad of it, rather
than just the commuting use I'd expected to put it to. So, as we refit our
cruising home (we've sold our homes and are in a refit mode for the Morgan),
we may well get our PB before we leave, instead of after we throw out the
hook for months at a time in St. Thomas, commuting daily to some form of
income generation.

Dan, with your permission, I'd like to post your message to the several
lists I'm on, unless you're already on and will do that for the many
PB-specific lists. Sandy does follow, at least, "californiaportaboter"
or
similar name, the original list, but there are many other PB lists.
He's
known as "porta" on the califirniaportaboter list,

Hi Skip, good to hear from you again.
Feel free to repost that usage report (I already posted it to the yahoo
list and the Cruising World board). I want to make sure that it is
clear that we are still very happy with the 12' PB as a whole and still
have not dug our 10' Avon out of the bottom of our large aft storage
hold. It's just that it did have a couple of weak points that I felt
should be reported since I've been pretty vocal with my support of the
PB in various places on the net.
