I first had my 2010 Lexus RX350, which I concluded was just too fancy a vehicle for leaving at the marina. So, I replaced her with a 2003 Honda Element which I bought for $2,600, refit for another $3,000, and have been most satisfied to have as my marina car. I have driven it all over Fla.

Cap’n GSH | Cold
Andromeda's cockpit shower now sports a superior spray head and a 13' hose which allows the spray head to reach forward of her companionway. The water flows more volume at higher pressure. This Skandvik system is easy to install and a definite upgrade.
