Dear Webmaster,

On Monday the 7th I updated my thread "Re: Converting CD30C from Diesel to Electric propulsion" and several people replied. It is now missing. Is it gone forever or do you expect it to be recovered?

Not an answer to your question but an observation. Its seems like your car on the outer track is much to far forward for a 135.

The respons...

Jeff Hi Jeff, Now that MOONDANCE has been turned from a work shop back int a boat I finally got around to taking some pics of the dinette. It is still a work in prog...

MOONDANCE splashed on Wednesday and the electric motor is quite impressive. Just a touch of the throttle and she takes off. The instantaneous torque of an electric motor is amazing. I still have not received my LiFePO4 battery cells from China. They claim that they are in port in Long Beach awaitin...

In the CDSOA Membership book it says that 1972 to 1977 had two small and one large window (non bronze) and 1978 to 1982 had the three bronze windows.
