These things used to be cheap, anyone know why they've gotten so expensive? http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Vinyl-Adult-Flotation-Vest&i=14478&aID=600H1B&merchID=4006" rel="nofollow - http://www.overtons.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Vinyl-Adult-Flotation-Vest&i=14478&aID=600H1B&merchID=4006 Tom |

Wow, Vinyl vest. You are paying for nostalgia. BTW that $.05 bag of potato chips or chocolate bar is $1.29 now as well. The newer style fabric and neoprene vests are much more comfortable and do not split like those old vinyl ones. If you do want a nice vest for <$100 there is one at the CCF store with a cool Nautique logo. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4487" rel="nofollow - 1998 Ski Nautique |

Who said I shopped there?! :) You're right - I have found "them" to be overpriced... was just the first link that popped up when I searched for "vinyl life jacket". |

Oh I'm not vest shopping, we were just talking about how the cost of those had sky-rocketed over the last few years. Some folks I know keep one or two on board because they dry instantly. Cheers! Tom |

Because it's vinyl and they're doing their best to price it out of the market. ------------- Nathan http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1463&sort=&pagenum=3&yrstart=1978&yrend=1978" rel="nofollow - My '78 Ski Nautique <a href="http://photobucket.com/Nates78ski" rel="nofoll |
