January 16, 2012: Blogger Bob Wise bemoans the fact that his boat has become totally boring in the maintenance department. His EY system is so trouble-free he has a problem finding anything to write about! The kind of stories we love to hear!

Here is the blog That Bob Wise maintains, and this entry in particular features reflections of another EY customer, Merrick White.

https://boatbits.blogspot.com/2009/10/another-voice-electric-propulsion-guest.html

Here is Merrick White’s interesting account of live-aboard experiences. Not a lot of reference to the Freedom 32’s EY System, a sign that it’s working well. in August of 2011, Merrick sold the boat to a new owner, named Jim ____ . If you know where we can find him, please email Bill Tomlinson (bill [at] electricyacht.com) as I lost the info I had.
