Just closed on a 2007 Rivianna. I have had a Meridian 368 then my last boat was a 1988 Californian 45ft. The Californian simply had too many issues to contend with -waste and water tank leaks, windlass that could not be repaired,old boat odor and generator problems. I love the layout on the Jefferson (almost identical with the Californian) and was surprised the first one was built in 1982.We have a 250 mile trip to home(Chattanooga,TN.) from Iuka,Miss. I write this because I read the thread about the lack of a shore water inlet. I too was wondering where it was but it makes sense. OB
