    Your KEEL assistant
    Hi, I'm David
    I keep track of your boat so you don't have to carry it in your head.
    We already have Serenity, a 2019 Sea Ray Sundancer 320, at Bayside Marina.
    I watch what's due
    I tell you before it's a problem
    I keep the record for your boat
    First thing
    If you have a marine survey, that's the fastest way to get your boat set up. I'll read it for you.
    Let's start with my survey
    I don't have one

You're in. Your boat is on KEEL, and David takes it from here.

These are the real screens. Anything in a box is exactly what you'll see.
