Thank you for your reply. Will you live on the boat during the winter or are you coming back home. I too am in the process of winterizing my boat. I have only owned it since July. She is hull # 283. The shelves over the hanging locker is a good idea I have been thinking of doing that. Did you mount an SSB on you vessel. Did you mount it under the Radar? This is where Amel recomends it be mounted, but I realy like the Amel logo that is in that space. I was thinking of having it mouned over the hanging locker next to the nav station. I would have a cabinet bult.<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Vito
