Wow.. thanks for the info guys.. this is gonna help allot. I will try
cleaning the cieling rather then removing it.. I guess I am worried
about mold growing up there.

The reason we bought this kind of boat over just a open bow ski boat
is the ability to go up to the san jauns and that's why I was looking
at the GPS system. Should I be looking at gps systems with built in
electronic charts?

I scored when we bought the boat as we were able to take over the slip
in downtown kirkland. I did the mileage check last night, 1.6 miles
from my front door! how perfect is that!

I am so excited!
