[Rhodes22-list] portholes part 2

[Goodness]

Yes it does!  Not able to retire yet.  This is our family's missionary supply and disaster relief vessel.  It is designed to be able to bring up to 5000# of supplies in the convertible saloon area.  Full keel 5'7" draft, 12'beam Center cockpit allows living in the stern section for delivery crew when laden with supplies.
We are still finishing hull, then will start interior build out.
