Hi - Well, it looks like the Reliance owners on my e-mail list have checked-in. Hope this site attracts some others! I also noticed that all 3 of the owners who have checked-in so far have all modified their prop aperatures. Guess I wasn't crazy after-all. Pierre mentioned that after a while into the production run they began producing boats with larger aperatures. Anyway... That's the kind of stuff I hope this forum produces. Bye Rick Goltz S/V Voyager
