She's as solid as a rock. A good design with a well laid out interior. She has most of the bells and whistles that a long term cruiser would care to install and I'm well satisfied with her. Every time I've added or replaced something I did it with the idea that I would have to do it again someday. With that in mind I cut inspection plates for access, installed terminal boards instead of butt connections and did everything I could think of to make the next replacement (maybe at sea) easier. I suppose there are better boats out there but Shannon did a great job with this one. IMHO I guess that's why I've had her for 15 years.
