Default FS: Free to good home - Avon 6-man offshore canister life raft in St. Petersburg, FL

Ok, I know my cynicism is showing..... but don't be surprised if the
owner guy salvages it from the "trash", resells or rents it. Wish
someone local would just drive over in their pickup and pile all the
parts in the bed and drive off. You're a really nice guy, Skip. Go to
all the trouble of posting this and everything so maybe someone can get
some use from the raft. Fair winds to ya!

It's moot, as seen in my final update. However, I'm quite sure that
would not have happened - they have far too much to do.

However, there have been several "takers" who wanted to do that, as
opposed to have it properly repacked (as I thought was one of my
options) or pay anything at all, including a condemnation fee - what
they'd charge if it failed; disposal could include your carrying it
out). Those I could see doing as you cynicised :{))

The Society for the Preservation of Tithesis commends your ebriated
and scrutible use of delible and defatigable, which are gainly, sipid
and couth. We are gruntled and consolate that you have the ertia and
eptitude to choose such putably pensible tithesis, which we parage.
