Anyone going to Vancouver or Seattle Boot Shoe?

Hi Mark, I've read posts on this site that have installed PC cooling fans inside their fridge that run on 12V. They like the results and at a much lower price. Try doing an archive search. Just a thought.
Thanks again Guan, and I just may take you up on the offer of sailing to Pender Harbour - sure beats the ferry lineup!And I didn't actually carry ANYTHING (except the books). I have a piece of paper I paid $1000 for, and a promise of an email. But yeah... typical Boot Shoe visit - one day at the show, 6 months to pay off the Visa.

Druid, There was a shop in Everett area that the owner went out off business last year. He was selling off his parts and had a Perkins 4108 rebuilt on a pallet. I talked with him last spring. Nice guy on the phone. I found a couple of parts for my 4107 from his shop. Can try to locate a number if interested. The 4108 might be too big for your boat.
No plans here. We attended a few when we were shopping for our current boat prior to 2002, but not since. Not really in the market for anything at the moment other than some incidentals. A root canal preferred here to traveling to Seattle 26 miles away to the south. Traffic, parking, traffic; did I mention traffic?
Len, Thanks for the offer. I tried calling the number provided and it is not in service. Looks like not enough digits.
I'll probably get a week pass - there are several talks I want to go to. Maybe even get the Admiral out one day on a weekend. I just need a few blocks for the A2 Spinnaker that should be here tomorrow.
Spent all day yesterday at the Vancouver show. It was a really good show, except for some heavy rain in the late afternoon when going dock to dock looking at the new boats.
My two favourite boats were the Lagoon 42, and the Marlow 37. The Dehler was really cool as well.
Spent most of the day at BC Place shopping for electronics, and hydronic systems. Very informative day, and helped us decide which way to go finally with a radar/mfd purchase. We also settled on Espar for heat. 99% of the vendors/manufacturers reps were fantastic and helpful.
The only odd/bizarre booth was Garmin's corporate booth. The lady manning it was from head office. She turned us off when she told us that only Garmin offers forward facing sonar, when we pointed out forward scan exists at B&G, Simrad, etc, she said "oh their stuff isn't any good". I felt really bad for the local guy working with her as her abrasiveness had the effect of driving us, and a quite a few others away. She was the only person we met all day that bad mouthed their competition, whereas all the others were very respectful and often complimentary of the other brands.
The only thing we didn't see on display were the external bowthrusters. It's not a need, but I would have liked to seen one up close as our H410 won't take a tunnel thruster because of the pullman berth and head in the forward most part of the hull.
