I can state unequivocally that even if the slick makes it around to Florida's east coast, you will have absolutely no problems. I spent 2...
How about the looking at it as the other 99 percent of buyers just got a little bit more protection against the small minority of brokers who have...
You are absolutely correct, and neither should the buyer. The broker should have told the buyer that "this style of boat is made for open ocean...

I hope so. At last count there were around 150 different labs contracted to do sample analyses for CAT. I don't think CAT has a shoemaker's...
