	I'm a little skeptical whether the SE boating community will donate $14K every year to keep 2 gages up and running. If everyone was a gage geek like Mark, it would be no problem. In order to make this idea work we'd need long term financial commitments from a few local cities, chamber of commerce, ww clubs, ww organizations, as well as significant donations from private boaters. If that happened it just might work. These gages have been up and running for many years with only one financial partner. Finding a single new financial partner is the least complicated and most stable way of keeping those gages online. Does anyone have any pull with the local communities or business in the effected areas?? Keep up the good work Mark! I'm good for $$ when the time comes. -- Rob
