After seeing the destruction from May 3, 99 and now this one, there is no doubt that you have to be below ground or in a bank vault. Cars that are all rolled up in a ball flying through the air over 200mph are not easily deflected by anything. Wind speeds in May of 99 reached 317 mph.(highest wind speeds ever recorded) Entire slabs were taken off the ground.

 Original Warranty Certificate for A 157. Ed Abel ordered the boat without the standard equipment. He raced the boat MORC and must of had some wieght concerns.

  He may have wanted two full length births in the main cabin and that may be why he didn't get the bureau, locker set up

  Note that the bureau, hanging locker, ice box and teak floor were not installed per buyers request
