Allen, I've been hoping people here and on the yachat docks would think
outside the "marine" world when shopping. This is a perfect example of
somone sizing up a material and giving it a try. Damn that suff must be
pretty good to last on your boots. Sounds like a testimonal from a
commercial. Ya know, "if its tought enough down here... (tight shot to
boots) its tough enough out there." (shot of boat taking a good slap on
the FWD quater of your boat)

For the I dont think synthetic line is UV - Chaffe resistant enough I
propose a new thread:
PVC COVERING FOR SYNTHETIC LIFE LINES.

Allen, thanks for info.
