Thanks Joe,
You won't need scan & solve. Just email the files when I
learn how to use it.

What Quicken is to accounting, applications like Scan and Solve are to engineering. Home-builders/designers in all disciplines have a tendency to "over-engineer" individual components with a "more is better" philosophy.

This allows the amateur to design with confidence to minimum scantlings necessary to get the job done with an appropriately determined safety factor. Really cool stuff, I want one! It's on my wish list.

They are a lot bigger than I thought they would be, and since I have 6 of them, it takes some space planning to layout the units and their wires that come factory installed to make the most efficient use of wire lengths, and how to place them against the hull to help take away some the heat that they generate, and to be able to service them.
