We retrieved Libra from the boatyard Tuesday with a freshly blasted and recoated bottom. Good for another 25 years....

On this trip I did have the meter to see if I could detect any increase in sound from the move to hardwood from carpet in the cabin. The meter read from 56-61 decibals at the helm with one side door open which was no change from prior even on the meter. This classifies as sound level of quiet office. I have been surprised that a boat this rigid would be that quiet but well insulated I think and 10 cylinder engine may help?

And, by the way, it was a beautiful day on the Salish Sea for a boat ride. I thought this cell phone pic turned out well looking West at the San Juan and Gulf Islands from near Cherry Point.
