I'll think about it for a week. Thanks for the replies.

I must say that I do not recommend these Niagara/Prentice kits for anyone who has not scratch-built a few pairs of floats already. The instructions leave alot out for you to interpret, and I had no idea what to do. A picture or even a cartoon of the tips would have been helpful. There were other problems along the way. I saw that they were a "kit", and mistakenly bought them. Of course, if you were able to scratch build your own floats from plans in your head, why would you buy these? If you were in an extreme hurry, and did not want to cut the foam, or buy the sheeting yourself at the hobby shop, I guess. It is possible that an inexperienced builder who is smarter than me could build these, I reckon.

Always learn the hard way, that's my motto!

Thanks all, Craig.
