the actual unit is $1049


Ouch...seems like that should be cheaper than that...
Hmmm... I wonder if I reversed the flow to it, would it turn my 26X into an airboat? Or maybe I could do like those characters in old Looney Toons cartoons used to do... just point the fan at the sails!

Mike,

My Marina with "free" electric is 3 hrs away in Oriental,NC. I easily spend over $30 a month in gas alone getting there.

I do have a Lake Marina on Lake Jordan about 15 minutes from my house but there is a waiting list to get in and I have not heard that it has that good sailing.
