[Public-List] gulf coast 23

[Elaine & Brian Timmins]

I'm sorry. I should have wandered on the second link before recommending it. 
If you go to http://www.gcsailboats.info/
be careful on the site links. Many of them lead to somewhere you probably 
don't want to go. Some have legit pictures and info. the rest are full of 
dead end links that appear to have nothing to do with Gulf Coast Sailboats.
