Were all of the modifications done by
Blue Water Yachts?
No, we did a lot of the mods in house,
but not everything. Probably it's easiest to list things grouped by who
did the primary work. Things done by Roger Macgregor, or at the
MacGregor factory.

make stuff the way we wanted it on our own boat.
