I recently found your blog site. I am a new Pearson 30 owner (I owned one with a friend and then sold my 1/2 of the boat and in the past month bought one of my own. I am actuall just going in the water and will be in all winter long. Granted, our winters here in Annapolis are more mild than up north, I look forward to the spring. Do you know of anyone who has pulled the Atomic 4 out of a Pearson 30?? I don't think I will have to do that (yet) but I would be interested in knowing if there is a way to do it without disrupting the counter top around the sink.
