The Fuels cells I talked about were shown on the Jan 05 issue of Lats and Atts in the "found at boat show" section. Discovered by Bitchin at the Annapolis show. Made by Scandvik and called Max power. It provides 100 amps per day at 12 volts, weighs 7 Kg, and consumes 1.2 liters of methanol per Kwh. The portable 5 liter container of methanol will generate 72 hours of continuous power at 50 watts at 11 to 14.4 volts. I didn't tell the cost but anyone who is interested can go to the Mfgrs web sitw at www.scandvik.com. Also on the next page, some kool hatchboards made of starboard plastic with openings for solid or screen inserts or windows. I love the wooden hatchboards on my M-15 but they are high maintenance. Maybe plastic is the answer. See them at www.Zarcor.com Don M-15 #620 Sweet Dream
