Re:      Harbor Acquisition Corporation
         Registration Statement on Form S-1
         Registration Statement No. 333-126300 - Acceleration Request
         ------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr. Reynolds:

     Enclosed for filing pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act, as
amended, is the Company's request that the captioned Registration Statement be
declared effective at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, April 25, 2006, or as soon as
thereafter is practicable. In connection therewith, the Company also requests
that Form 8-A/12B (No. 001-32688) also be declared effective at 5:00 p.m. on
Tuesday, April 25, 2006, or as soon as thereafter is practicable. Included
with this letter is a letter from the underwriters (a) joining in the request
for acceleration and (b) setting forth the number and distribution of
prospectuses distributed through April 21, 2006.

     We acknowledge that:

     -    should the Commission or staff declare the Registration Statement and
          Form 8-A/12B effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from
          taking any action with respect to the filing;

     -    the action of the Commission or the staff in declaring the
          Registration Statement and the Form 8-A/12B effective take does not
          relieve the Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy of
          the disclosure in the Registration Statement and the Form 8-A/12B; and

     -    the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of
          effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the
          Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the
          United States.
