You will pry any Coaster I get from my cold, dead fingers; at least on one hand... the other hand will be clutching a .357 magnum. I have had little luck so far in finding a used one (tested or not) and I have even considered buying a new (gasp!) one now that Mariner is back in production. "I only want my fair share. I only want what's coming to me." (Charles Shulz) That would mean one of every Mariner model, my Nimbus Telkwa, and a nice trawler for a mothership. Hey, I'm easy to please. :) Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA PS: Resume under separate cover *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
