Navy vessels do it (I used to make 4 to 8 thousand gallos per day) using steam from the...

Major, the first thing I'd recommend he do is shop where the prices are in USD vs £ or Euros. With the current dollar at 1.9 or so to the £ he can get a lot of boat for his money.

The CSY44 is in NorthEast MS. (Luka, MS) As best i can figure out it's off of a lake formed by a dam on the TN river on the MS/ALA/TN border.

Hull work

What's the verdict on a cracked/damaged fin keeled hull from a hard grounding. Are they repairable or is it toast.
