[PUP] Distributed Power Systems

[2elnav at netbistro.com]

Adam, don't feel bad about that one builder.   I have been trying to promote 
a three wire system for  the past 10 years  and not one boat builder  is 
willing to try  it.  Searay  was experimenting with a limited  scope test 
system but apparently dropped it.
Meanwhile the RV and  custom coach market is jumping on board.  The marine 
industry is not only hide bound, its a dinosaur when it comes to innovating 
new technology that has been standard in the land vehicle industry for over 
a decade.
