Guys,
Think the boat would sell better if it was called a Slickerdy-Spitz...and
even Rummy could say that at the end of a hard day of sailing....just a
thought...

Brad,
Seems to me that that dream boat colaberation between Stan Spitzer and Leon
Sliker would very likely end up being called the Spitlicker 22.  Tough to
market in most places except in some congressional offices.  Though you
might upgrade to the Lickspittle 26.
