I replaced my 4200 with a NextGen 3.5 Kw unit (www.nextgenerationpower.com)
that utilizes a Kubota engine and other parts that are available anywhere.
For
me, being able to repair it anywhere is a key issue.

Reading this dummies account shows he failed to do his homework. His attack
on
the company is a long standing and rather odd affair.
Worth reading for laughs. There's a 48 foot ketch at my Marina with a Panda
and
they never had a problem.

As usual, you pipe up without any knowledge of the situation. Fischer Panda
makes a number of models and the 4 (along with others - it seems only the 8
works) is WIDELY known to be a poor design, with many complaints about it by
people who are out there trying to use it. Your knowledge is limited to glossy
magazines which take FP's ad dollars, so you wouldn't know any of this. For
example, try:

There are many others.

Skitch, you're soooo eager to attack that you repeatedly crap your pants!
Read my post...I already said the guy didn't do his homework.
Duhhhhhhh! You idiot!!!

Wrong, Bob. The old standard Brody change-my-message-midstream ploy is getting
pretty old. You need a vacation.

Liar? Now aint that a hoot.

Rather odd affair? The boat in your marina never had a problem? In addition
to the "change-my-message-midstream" ploy, you've now been caught using the two
other tired standard Brody tactics of (i) claiming to know someone who has
experienced every possible sailing-related circumstance despite keeping a boat
in a marina full of boaters who are never out of spitting distance of land
(lets call it the "imaginary-friend" ploy) and (ii) the old tried and true
"Busted, liar!!!" move.

You've always been a poor sailor, but now you're even getting to be a poor,
boring troll. So, back under the bridge with you now, at least as regards real
sailing posts.

Angelina, a big CC Ketch, owned by Tim and Rebecca, out on the inner spot of
the N. Breakwater. You're welcome to talk to them. They're liveaboards.
Go talk to them about their genset.

Broken down old ferrocement ketch - hubby has one eye and Rebecca has a hump on
her back and drools a lot? Yea, I know them. No help coming from them.
