[Public-List] battery boxes--rebuilding boats

Gone - gone- gone...I think the boat is in Vermont. Never got finished, too 
big a job for me. Perhaps the new owner is lurking on the list and can give 
us an update. Only 1 episode was ever complete because they could not secure 
funding to do any more...although they had enough footage for 2 or 3 more 
episode. So episode #1 can be found at...
