" What the heck does your banter about disliking a particular business have to do with my question? This question was not meant as a opportunity for you to complain about a particular business. The question is simple....Which cat is best? Which cat should I buy?"

OK, sorry for trying to pass on inside info to keep your hard earned teaching dollars going where you want them to go. I was simply stating that you have Murrays right down the road because you will find, once you start sailing, you are going to need parts and gear. Which boat should you buy? At this point I could care less. I jumped on here today to inform you that I found a NICE Hobie 16 for you in your front yard for a steal! Now, if you can calm down some, I could let you know about it and the price I negotiated for you. If you have bad dealings with businesses in our sport, we need to know so we all can stay away from them. If you got a fried rat at your favorite Chinese Buffet wouldn't you tell all your friends not to eat there? If you're really in the market for a boat or just want to scold me some more, pm me.
