Just read that the new Anchor Bay release, the 87' Patrol Boat, will be customizable(spell???).
Each one will include decals of the name and ship number for the 73 87' Marine Class Patrol Boats.

I like that idea if you serve on one of them, but, having never been on one since I retired long before their inception I think I will choose to leave it without a name or number.

An interesting marketing idea.

Just received the latest Lighthouse Depot sales Catalog and they have some pretty good pictures in their on the 87" Patrol Boat and how you can customize the Hull Number and Name for any of the 70+ Cutters that were built. It could be a neat selling feature for those of you that have family, friend, etc. that will serve or have served on them. Having never been on one, I will leave mine blank or pick a name that I like the most. Check out the magazine or the website to see what it looks like.
Now Tony, when will we have the Storis. Unless it is a total secret, you have missed out on a great oportunity by not having it with the Reunion Cruise to Alaska.
Rich, I guess I get my mail quicker then you.
