    I started to buy one while at IBEX in fla, but thought I did not want to carry it back in a bag on the metro then plane home. I would just order it on the internet and have it shipped. I was already to place my order and upon entering their site was told it was no longer available.

    I think there are a whole lot of us who would like to have one.

    There appears to be some legal bulls__ that has made ProBoat have to quit selling them. Was that a marketing decision that ProBoat had to make under threat of a legal action, or a true illegal action on the part of ProBoat?? My guess is the former...they didn't expect to make that much profit on this item to justify fighting a 'potential' lawsuit by any of the contributing authors.

    I wonder if that legality that prevents them selling it would apply to a private individual making some free copies for the rest of us?? Sure would be a handy reference.

    Professional BoatBuilder Goes DIGITAL!

    Here is some rather interesting news I was just sent today. It appears as though anyone interested will be able to access the entire contents of each future issue of Professional Boatbuilder magazine in a digital format on their website at http://www.proboat.com/

    Doesn't mention accessing back issues yet, but maybe there is hope??
