[PUP] Life Raft Recommendations

[Keith]

Winslow seems to be the hands down favorite, and that's what I bought and 
carry. They make models for inshore, near-shore, offshore, etc. each with 
lots of options and capabilities. http://www.winslowliferaft.com/home.asp 
I'd suggest getting it vacuum packed... that way it's good for three years 
(and probably longer) without a repack.

Did you ever notice: When you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it 
spells "Theirs."
