No thanks, I couldn't afford to keep two running. Mine is the special model with the expensive batteries that run out every 90 days, and can only be replaced by taking the whole thing off the bulkhead, which is the same operation that must be performed when you want to adjust for a time change.

Noisy, too.

(I hope I mentioned that it was a gift. Graduation gift. Another good reason never to pick up an advanced degree later in life.)

To add to the list; Double Deep-sinks. They should be single so one can get a pan into it to rinse it off. Small is cute but dollhouse utilities don't work.

I'm a little sad, everything on my boat works!

I think it is a real bummer, if:

- the ballast does not stay with the keel, unless a cat,
- the rig does not stay up, unless power,
- the rudder goes its own way, or
- the driver goes their own way.

Other failures are manageable, or nearly so.

If you wait patiently and enough time goes by, you will found most everything stops working on the boat, including you.

When I fix something (there are usually at least two things to fix) Something else fails stops working: and i am back to two again. But as long as they are not dangerous or life threatening I wait till I have 3 to fix then I am again back to two LOL Who has a boat that's perfect? even the new boats come with problems.

I bet that when I stop working........the boat equipment will follow!
