Wow! That would be so cool to see that video. It just about cannot be my hull, though, because the date of manufacture was August of 1996. Neither is it likely to be Steve's Shearwater, because his was manufactured in November of 1994 and is a '95 model year (according to my interpretation of the HIN). Both those boats are green, though. Nevertheless, I would imagine that they made all six of the early run the same, so the video would be a acurate picture of what our boat looked like brand new. My wife and I would both like to see that so we can figure out what changes the previous owner made. After the holidays, maybe we can come up with a way to get a copy of it, and we in turn will make a copy for Steve. Now, if we could just find the other four owners!
Nothing unworthy about an Arima! Even if there was, it is obvious that you belong here. All these folks are friendly in person, too.
What would be great is if you could talk the Stimpster into a northwest bound convoy next spring or summer. You could pick up a bunch of others along the way and maybe we could all end up at Larry's home port in Cathlamet or something.
