No Gin -
I have an 05 FV 270 - I'm down on the south shore in a slip over in Amityville. I'd be happy to swing do there with you this week if you'd like to take a look. It'd be great to know yet another 270 owner locally to swap info and help if needed.
No worries about being chopped up - 20 years in the Marines and 4 combat tours doesn't guarantee a win but it does pretty much guarantee a good fight.

jjlovett ~ That would be awesome man! I have a flexible schedule during the week between 10:00 and 2:00. I am headed to oceanside this Tuesday to pick up a drive for my current boat around 11:00. If you are available we can do it around noon or otherwise when is most convenient to you!

PS - I can be your North Shore connection if you ever want to run the sound!
