Could not have said it better @Michael T
I would only add, depending on your risk tolerance, look at solid companies with good long term track records and preferably one that pays dividends and is trading lower not because there's anything wrong with the company, but because of all the nervous Nellie's out there that pulled out. Over a medium to long term time frame you will never regret it. Also remember that although a lot of us are investing and saving for retirement, you still need growth in your portfolio after retirement to keep up with inflation and keep a steady income until the end. At almost 60 I'm not investing for the next 3 to 4 years, I'm still investing for the next 30.

Re: Canvas and Glass
I ended up doing a whole custom replacement. Full camper setup. Tops, sides and all. This allowed me to go with some upgraded material and strataglass vs eisenglass. The hard part for me was the color. The blue i went with is a brighter blue but even on the custom route getting the darker navy blue was going to mean waiting months. The replacement was done in Dec and he just had a few tweaks after it sat in the summer sun for a while. To me this fits better and allowed me to change a few items. The biggest ones were that i had him make the overlap from the top pieces to the strataglass panels a little larger. This has helped to redirect the rain and keep more of it out of the cabin. We also faced everything so the overlaps faced towards aft. It never made sense to me why they would have flaps facing forward. Cost for a complete custom replacement...$10k. So a bit more expensive that being patient and waiting on OEM.

Re: Problems with All American Drive Service in Michigan -- bankrupt? Or just terrible service?
It's the XZ gearset for a Bravo 3X. If he's telling me the truth, he's getting yanked around by Mercury. He said the parts are starting to flow now, so I agreed to wait another 2-3 weeks. I'm glad that he finally returned a call, and that he's still working the problem, but I'll reserve judgment for now.

Yes, the rudder sensor is on the SeaTalk network. The autopilot and MFD can both see it. I'd recommend a rudder sensor for any boat, even with no autopilot. Being able to see the rudder position when docking is really helpful.

Agreed with @LaRea - I have the Merc rudder sensor with VV and it’s awesome.
