the Biscuit?

Back to boats...

abraision, dirt, sun light and tight turns. They are still in great shape.

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.
Bob
