couldn't.....and believe me I tried.

After my doctors appointment today I went looking for a can of
Collinite Fleetwax and a thermostat for my boat.

Boaterworld........sorry, we have neither.....try WestMarine.

WestMarine........nope, don't have them....try NAPA for the thermostat.

NAPA.........that will be a special order and it may take 2 weeks.

Jeesh!

On the way home I stopped at Home Depot to get some painting supplies
for barrier and bottom painting and looked for SS 3/16" 'snaptoggles'
(for securing the new boat seat pedestal)....again, no luck.

So back home I went, empty handed. I jumped onto the internet and
found all the items but could not find one store that carried all or
even 2 or the items. Oops, looks like separate shipping charges for
each of the 3 items.

I ended up paying $20.50 in combined shipping charges for 3 relatively
small packages of merchandise retailing for $44 total. Go figure!

So...........do they sell Collinite in a store by you? ;-)









I've got a half-empty can of Collonite I'll be glad to sell you for
$299.99 :}


It is good stuff. I use it at the beginning and end of the season. In
between (when the boat is in the water) I use Meguiar's Flagship premium
boat wax.

Let me know when you get down to $.50 for the can. ;-)




If it were for your car, it would be 50 cents...but for a boat? Much, much
more.


Actually it is for my daughter's car..............a poor 21 year old coed
struggling with the high costs of college while working a part time job just
to stay above water. All she wants to do is provide the best protection
possible for her aging car subject to the torments of mother nature.

Do you accept PayPal? ;-)
