I need to get enough PFDs for my boat. About 6 adult and maybe 1 or 2 child size. Hopefully I can do this without breaking the bank.

I know the boat needs a hundred little things, and the temptation is great, but you must resist.

Keep a running list of items you need for outfitting the boat, but don't actually buy anything until spring. You're easily close enough to Defender to attend their big spring sale and make out like a bandit.

What is Defender and when & where is it?

Mike-

I have purchased some things from Defender. Their customer service has been good as well as many of their regularly discounted prices.

I have seen the references to the spring sale event. Are the sale prices really that great?

The Defender spring sale has their lowest prices of the year. (I learned this the hard way.) Regular merchandise is available on-line at the sale price as well as in person during this sale. Close-outs, etc., are available only to those lucky enough to live nearby.

Unfortunately, unless that list was really long, the savings might be eaten up by the gas and tolls from New Jersey.
