[Public-List] Cockpit Coaming

[Wes Gardner via Public-List]

Hey All,

Thanks to everyone for the responses...I can tell that when you combine the
words "exotic" and "boat" in the same sentence, that I'm in for a real
treat :-)  I assume I'm looking at about 500 - 600 for teak...I might start
looking at alternative species....

I was also drooling over some self-tailers last night...but with the engine
repair bill coming, those will have to wait.
