<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>To the Group:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I forget who mentioned it, but when I asked what to
use as a rub strake for my dingy renovation project, someone suggested old fire
hose. Well they were right on the money. While a commercial rubber rubstrake
might run between $60-100, fire hose was free for the asking. And it looks quite
salty when attached with ssteel screws.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I managed to get 50 feet of nearly new fire hose,
FREE!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well #499's dingy restoration is
complete. Chalk up another successful winter project. You can see a couple of
pics at:</FONT></DIV>
