Doug, check out this group, one of the guys on here probably lives alot closer to you, and there are a few of them who could probably meet you in long beach some weekend, and get our boat all straightened out. there are little events organized from this site, they are called catapalooza, and generally i think there in long beach. Anyhow good luck.
