The question that arises, when one is asked to talk about Scottish fantasy today, is whether this simply means fantasy texts that come out of Scotland, or whether there is currently a genre that might be labelled 'Scottish fantasy' which is significantly different from fantasy that comes from anywhere else. The unique status of Scottish fantasy has been a well-established tenet of Scottish literature and criticism, but the dominant genre at the end of the twentieth century is contemporary, urban and realistic. Can we still assert that there is a distinctively Scottish fantasy genre, which is neither retrospective nor nostalgic, but which uses traditional elements to produce texts relevant to the modern world? I have a vested interest in saying yes, a claim I'll now attempt to substantiate.

Merck Floats Vioxx Re-Stock
Merck (MRK) has suggested a powerful antidote for its sales sickness.
The company may reverse the biggest drug recall in history. In a surprising announcement late Thursday, a Merck executive hinted that the company may begin reselling Vioxx -- a painkiller that generated billions of dollars in sales -- after yanking it off the market last September due to cardiac risks.
Peter Kim, the company's director of research, said that Merck originally pulled the drug because it thought safer alternatives were available. However, research since the withdrawal has identified similar risks with other so-called Cox-2 inhibitors like two -- Bextra and Celebrex -- manufactured by rival Pfizer (PFE).
Kim's statement came on the second day of a special three-day hearing held by government advisers who will help decide the fate of the entire class of Cox-2 drugs. Ultimately, the Food and Drug Administration could rule to withdraw all of the drugs or -- most believe -- require them to carry much stronger warning labels.The possibility that Vioxx may rejoin the group of available Cox-2 inhibitors clearly took the public by surprise. Shares of Merck stock jumped 4.3% to $30.09 in premarket trade on Friday. Still, analysts tend to doubt that Vioxx will actually reappear on pharmacy shelves. And even if it does, some say, demand for the once-popular painkiller will never be what it once was. If anything, they feel, the move would help Merck more in the courtroom -- where the company faces a slew of product liability lawsuits -- than in the ordinary course of business. "While a reintroduction of Vioxx would be a surprising outcome in a number of ways, we believe that one of the greatest benefits would likely be on the legal side -- even more than any financial impact," wrote Morgan Stanley analyst Jami Rubin, who has an equal-weight rating on the stock. "If, even after all of the intensive scrutiny of recent months, the panel concluded that the overall risk/benefit profile for Vioxx supported marketing of the drug to certain populations, we believe this could help vindicate the company's -- and FDA's -- decision not to withdraw the drug earlier." That said, Rubin believes the chance for a Vioxx relaunch is "less than 10%." Other analysts are similarly pessimistic.

Comments about OVER THE WALL COLLECTION™ Jeff Gordon Women's Dragonfly Spectrum Hoodie:
Bought this for the wife and she loves it. The hood has a nice silky lining (Though I don't think it's real silk). Fits pretty much true to the sizing chart. Only thing about it that is not great is the hood is a little bit small so it tends to come off with a gust of wind or when the cars fly by at the track. Other than that, great buy!

Our Favorite Purim Costumes
Let's not beat around the bush: Purim is the craziest Jewish holiday of the year. There's carnivals and parades, cookies and noisemakers, religion-sanctioned drunkenness, and of course, the costumes.
Many consider Purim to be the Jewish Halloween, and your kids certainly won't mind getting into the spirit of the holiday by dressing up as whatever they want! Purim comes early this year, starting at sundown on Saturday, February 23rd, so if you don't already have a costume in place, now's the time to start looking. The internet's cup runneth over with all kinds of costumes, but we've searched through the endless choices and found our favorites just for you. From cutesy to Jewishy to just plain weird, here they are.
Famous Jewish Figures
1. Moses. Got a natural born leader on your hands? Then who better to pay tribute to than the man who led us out of bondage? This Moses costume ($21.99) comes with the robe, hat, and Ten Commandments necklace. Though unfortunately, the awesome ginger beard is sold separately. Get it here.
2. Queen Esther. Want to stick with the Purim story? This child-size Queen Esther costume is only $15, and just look at how sassy your daughter will look! Get it here.
3. The Grand Rabbi. And okay, yeah, we've made fun of these costumes before, but if Purim isn't the perfect time to dress up like the Grand Rabbi ($35), than we don't know when is. Sidelocks sold separately. Get it here.
Can't Go Wrong with Cute
4. Veterinarian. For any animal loving little boys and girls, this veterinarian costume set ($22.49) is super cute, and it even comes with a plush puppy "patient." Your child, a doctor! Can you believe it? Get it here.
5. Baby Animals. What is it about babies and animal costumes that just make everybody go "Awwwwwww!"? We don't know, but we're not going to deny it. If you're going for the cute factor, this infant lion costume ($21.69) is the way to go. Or the monkey ($27.95). Or the elephant ($16). Or the totally treyf lobster ($25.88)!
6. Merida from Brave. One thing we've learned at Kveller is that a lot of parents are conflicted by their daughters' princess obsessions, but it seems pretty unanimous that Merida, the heroine of Brave, is a totally admirable addition to the group of Disney girls. If your daughter was a fan of Brave, this Merida costume ($19.05) will be a big hit. Get it here.
Weird & Wacky
7. Leprechaun. Purim is just a few weeks before St. Patrick's today, so you can't blame anyone for getting into the Irish spirit just a little early. This leprechaun costume ($17.77) will be especially appreciated by any kids who can't get enough of Lucky Charms. Unfortunately, once again, ginger beard sold separately. Get it here.
8. Abraham Lincoln. Oscars Sunday is during Purim this year, so what better way to pay homage to this year's nominated films than dressing your child up as Abraham Lincoln ($11.17)? Besides being a freaking awesome president, Honest Abe is totally trending right now. Get it here.
9. Wigs, Mustaches & More. Sometimes, a good costume is all in the accessories. If you're looking for that perfect piece to put your costume over the top, check out this child-sized Elvis wig ($20.09). Or this set of 12 assorted stick-on mustaches ($4.25). Or this pink superhero cape ($16). Or these butterfly fairy wings. Or a unicorn hat ($16.10). You're welcome!

Bluebell Flower Children
These little flower children are en route to their new homes. One to Holland, one to Canada and three to US. They left on Friday. To fellow swappers in the Wee Wooden Folk Exchange.
The little felted hats may look familiar. The shawls are knitted from the left over wool I used for pumpkin hat leaves.
The little fimo ladybirds are called Lily Puddle Two-spots and always accompany my little dolls. Where ever they go. Inspiration for the dolls came from our annual bluebell walk.
If I had known how difficult it would be to position a group of flower holding wee folk, then I may have insisted that they left their flowers in a corner.
They tangled. They wobbled each other over. They landed in a giggling heap. Hmm.
Finally they had to start their journeys to other countries. So far away, but each ready for their own adventure.
There is a sixth little flower child who has stayed with us. To spend time on our seasons table.
(or in the doll's house or snug in a little girl's pockets or riding in a little boy's toy tractor…..)

Those are adorable. Love them. And I can just imagine the tangling and tumbling!
These are sweet and I'm amazed by the tiny shawls and hats.
Oh they are lovely, I've not seen the blank wooden dolls with that lovely shape – wonderful, do you mind me asking where you get them?.
Bluebells are one of my favourite things to see, ours are standing proud and if you peek down the flower spikes are emerging so can't wait to see them in full colour. Looking forward to a local annual bluebell walk event soon too x
They really work..I love the hats & mini shawls very special :0)
They are so gorgeous! I love the shawls, how delicate is that? Lucky swappers !
I love those!
I LOVE your bluebell people – sooo cute, and their flowers are fabulous.

I appreciate the usefulness of an encyclopedia of Judaism, but I can't get over the inflammatory statements (such as, 'Muslims like to build temples on the destroyed temples of other religions' or categorizing all antizionist jews as self-hating, and categorizing all antizionist gentiles as antisemitic). I felt the term antisemitic was thrown around fairly easily while at the same time making wild generalizations about non-Jewish groups. I am irreligious so I prefer an objective POV for these so ...more
Rabbi Telushkin's Jewish Literacy is intended to serve as a general introduction to Judaism and Jewish culture and history. It performs more than admirably as such an introduction. Telushkin's prose is simple and elegant and capable of delivering large amounts of information with little wasted verbiage. His style is engaging as well as informative. This is no dry Judaism 101 textbook. Telushkin clearly has a love for this work and it comes through in his writing. He has an academic's grasp of th ...more

Rabbi Telushkin's books are always welcomed on my nightstand, as his writing style is unassuming, eloquent, yet basic. This book serves almost as an anthology to all things Jewish, which is great for non-Jews to learn "why they do that?" for a variety of holidays, events, customs, tenets, etc.
Considering Christianity is founded on many principles of Judaism, I think this book should be explored more by Christians than those of our own faith. This book certainly is written to assume that the audi ...more

This is such an enjoyable and educational book! It is full of wise stories and insights about the Bible and Jewish life that will profit everyone who reads it. The Rabbbi is a gifted writer and exteemly knowledgeable.

This is an amazing book. In the past I'd used it for study but only read assigned pages. I'd also used it for reference. Since whatever I read was so interesting and educational, I finally decided to read it cover to cover. I learned SO much. It's not for in-depth knowledge with its chapters of 2-3 pages or less. But enough to know at least a little bit about almost every Jewish topic of import regarding history, theology, tradition, modern Jewish issues, important Jews and Jewish scholars, the ...more

Shelves: religion-judaism, history
The book was extremely thorough and educational, and works both as a collection of individual encyclopedic entries and as a whole cohesive narrative. However, it only gets three stars because of the distracting and persistent Islamaphobia that came up every time the author mentions "Mohammed" or laments the permanence of the mosque at the Dome on the Rock, lest there be "an international Islamic jihad (holy war)." He also misunderstands many themes and elements of the Qur'an, which is problemati ...more

Joseph Telushkin did an excellent job of sharing "the most important things about Judaism" in 750 pages. Because he is trying to cover everything from the material of the Torah, to relious observances, to Israeli independence, to WWII, all topics are covered lightly.
The chapters are very readable, with anecdotes through-out. There were several places that I noticed a very distict bias coming through. This isn't surprising considering the very controversial nature of parts of Jewish history.

Written by a rabbi for Jews hoping to understand more about their own cultural, historical, and religious background, but accessible to anyone, and I found it a fascinating read for a layman with a mostly Christian-inflected upbringing. Full of little nuggets that are often underplayed in a Christian education, like the deep roots of the supposedly Christian Golden Rule in Jewish writings (Leviticus) and teachings (Rabbi Hillel).

Shelves: judaica
This book isn't an absorbing read, but it is exactly as advertised. This book is, cover-to-cover, an overview of all of the important elements of Judaism. I found it an invaluable resource in my journey through conversion to Judaism, and found the references within it even more helpful. Telushkin has written or collaborated on other books about Judaism, and I would recommend those as reference and resource books as well.
Aug 12, 2010 Victoria rated it 4 of 5 stars
The short chapters on Jewish essentials make this a quick and easy book to read. Chapters are backed by scholarly references and historic anecdotes. It is best used as a reference guide.

I'm not one to rate books. I definitely wouldn't recommend this book to everyone. It's not a fun read. It's not absorbing. I would recommend it for one reason: It is what it claims to be. The book is, for the most part, without bias. The beginning is a clear, understandable summary of the Hebrew Bible. It moves on to discuss history and tradition. I began to study Judaism just over a year ago and this book was instrumental in enabling me to move quickly through "the basics". I highly recommend i ...more

I'm finished! Other than the Bible, this is the longest (670 pages) book I've ever read. But it didn't seem tedious at all, as the format is chapters that are only 1-2 pages long. This was a great bed-time book for me to get up to speed on a huge variety of Jewish issues. You don't have to have mental energy for a regular length chapter or any complex paragraphs. It has short blurbs on famous people, events, or cultural realities. Overall, a great way to feel the ethos of the Jewish world that w ...more

Interesting reading about history and culture from a Jewish perspective. I like to look at things from another person's point of view - the different take on not taking the Lords name in vain was new to me, as well as some of the different Jewish sects and the background on the Talmud. There were a lot of words that I haven't ever heard and I wouldn't know how to pronounce them, so a lot of it won't stick with me.
Aug 14, 2007 Christina rated it 4 of 5 stars
Recommends it for: anyone interested in Judaism
This is a very informative book that is handy to have around if any Jewish people mention someone in rabbinical history and you don't know who it is. It's also good for correcting misconceptions people have about Jewish law and understanding the debate of Zionism. I haven't read it straight through, but Vince seems to be doing that and is pretty into it. It has good "clif's notes" of lots of religious text.
Jul 11, 2012 Daniel Bryant rated it 4 of 5 stars
Really an excellent overview of everything from torah mi sinai to moshe maimonides to the rebirth of israel with a pretty balanced viewpoint— telushkin is strictly in the modern orthodox camp, making it a good read for pretty much anyone except the nuts in new square who'll throw a molotov cocktail at your back porch after you went to the wrong minyan on a tuesday... in that case hide it under your bed.
Apr 10, 2009 Ray rated it 4 of 5 stars
I enjoy jumping hither and thither in this book. It's educational and entertaining, a rare mix to be sure. This sits on the opposite side of Abraham Joshua Heschel's "God In Search of Man," which I'm reading concurrently with this one. Now THAT thing gives me a headache. Oy!

A fantastic compilation of very interesting items. I discovered many things that I did not know about Jewish culture and beliefs. One item of note, by definition of who is Jewish, I am. I knew that there was a Jewish line in my ancestry, but I discovered that since it passed through the maternal line to my mother, that I am considered to be Jewish.
Great insight to the Jewish people.

I read this book for an assignment several years ago. It literally covers all aspects of being Jewish, from kosher food, to the Bible, to history, charity, and the smallest, least-known traditions. The author is himself an Orthodox rabbi and the chapters are very short and succinct, no more than probably two pages at the most. It is almost encyclopedic in nature but never boring or dry.
Apr 22, 2014 David Rullo rated it 4 of 5 stars
A great primer, albiet from an Orthodox position. Telushkin touches on virtually everything you want to know and some you didn't know you wanted to know. I think this should be a textbook for conversion. Of course as I finished reading this book I stopped at the bookstore and what did I see? A new, updated edition. Should I buy the new version? I think we know I will.
Sep 01, 2009 Ginna Rinkov rated it 5 of 5 stars
I re-read this entire book or sections of it every year. It's written so that you can learn a little bit about the most important things in the Jewish religion from the Tanach to Ethics to History to famous people to rituals. It's fascinating and since there's only 1-3 pages on each topic, you can get a quick update on any topic

Shelves: jewish-stuff
I read this book cover to cover, but it makes a great reference book. The chapters range from half a page to a dozen pages long, each one giving basic info on the history and practice of Judaism. Easily accessible if you have zero knowledge of Judaism and are just curious to learn a few basic facts. Well-indexed, not preachy.
Nov 30, 2008 Doug rated it 4 of 5 stars
A well-set volume spanning a broad range of religious and cultural history. I had no idea that one of my favorite authors, H. Hesse, recommended Martin Buber for a Nobel Prize in Literature, or that Buber and Franz Rosenzweig collaborated on a new Bible translation from Hebrew to German, no small feat I imagine.
Jun 03, 2007 Don Rea rated it 4 of 5 stars
Indispensible for any goyim who need a good grasp of the basics of Jewish history and culture (and probably for many Jews whose Jewish education sports a few lacunae). Telushkin manages to present the material as a believer without getting high-handed or esoteric.

"One year, on Yom Kippur eve, Salanter did not show up in synagogue for services. The congregation was extremely worried; they could only imagine that their rabbi had suddenly taken sick or been in an accident. In any case, they would not start the service without him. During the wait, a young woman in the congregation became agitated. She had left her infant child at home asleep in its crib; she was certain she would only be away a short while. Now, because of the delay, she slipped out to make sure that the infant was all right. When she reached her house, she found her child being rocked in the arms of Rabbi Salanter. He had heard the baby crying while walking to the synagogue and, realizing that the mother must have gone off to services, had gone into the house to calm him."More quotes…

To Repeat: Roger Ailes Is Done
Part of Roger Ailes' master plan at Fox News and grand design for American politics is to get as many potential Republican candidates for president as he can on his payroll. Hence, Sarah Palin signed on yesterday as a Fox contributor.
Ailes has several operations going here. He wants to be a kingmaker—actually, he believes he is a kingmaker. He believes that conservative candidates are successful when they take up the Fox line (not vice versa)—and that they will be more successful if they follow his advice. He has, on several occasions, gotten in journalism-ethics trouble for seeming to advise conservative politicians. He solves that problem if they are his employees. He can be their personal political tutor; he's the director. Indeed, he's the boss. It should not be underestimated how good he is at this job. He can shape an incredible performance. And, finally, he wants to be paid for this. The tragedy of the political consultant, which Ailes once was, working for Nixon and Reagan, is that consultants can never fully monetize their success. Ailes has solved that problem: He's turned conservative politics into a paying show.
All this comprises an astounding development in American politics.
But the even larger development is that Ailes was fired on Sunday. Matthew Freud—the son-in-law of News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch—claiming to representing the controlling shareholders of News Corp., which owns Fox News, said Ailes' is, in essence, a contemptible grotesque whose association soiled the company.

The thumb drive I used is a 2 Gb from Kingston. The size should be less than 4 Gb.
When you look at the sreenshots below you have to consider that it is in German.
Step 1:
Rename your thumb drive as "RAM DRIVE", so you can see that it is the one which is used as RAM.
Step 2:
Delete all the stuff one the pen drive. Look also after hidden once.
Step 4: Step 6
Step 6:
Click on your thumb drive above --> "user-defined size" -->
you can see the size of your flash drive (in this case 1932 Mb)
calculate: size of flash drive - 5 Mb
in this case: 1932 - 5 = 1927
Now type this number in the first box. In the second box you type in the same number (see picture) -->
click "set" and "OK"
Step 5: Step 7
Click "Apply", click not "Cancel" or "OK".
After you have clicked "Apply", click "OK".
Restart your computer.
Don´t pull out your thumb drive after you made this settings, because it´s used as virtual RAM device. It may crash your computer if you pull out your thumb drive. I´m not responsible for thoose cases.
Step 6: Removing
Go to step 6 and choose your USB thumb drive, than click "no swapfile" --> "Set" -->"OK" --> "Apply"
It would be great when you vote for me at the "USB contest".

I used sony 4 gb micro vault, but there is no effect on speed of my pc :(
This method only increases your virtual memory, you cant use it as a ram. Computer uses your hard drive for virtual memory by default and there is a big difference between virtual memory and ram, long story short it wont make your PC faster.
i did all of these according to these instructions, i dont notice it being any faster, and according to control panel i still only have 2gb ram when i should now be at 4, anyone have any idea what's going on there?
i think any usb stick will do if you fully blank it and format it. but then you have to dedicate it to this project only. It becomes iffy as a transport stick
1. So if 200GB is converted to rams; it would be about 199.9GBRAM because it's subjected by 5mb? I know I'm not gonna use up that much, but just pretend if it does hold that much.
2. Compare the performances against the real rams...
3. Can the virtual ram gets full without using it as a partition harddrive?
cant u see that it only holds up 2 gb and not more than that!!!
2. Try it out.
3. I think if you use a 2gb drive it can get full but not 200gb.

. .
. . what should i do ?
you have missunderstood something.
This instructable doesn´t enlarge you pc-ram with the storage of an usb thumb drive, but the virtual ram of your pc. This is something different.
Because of that, you computer has still 1gb of hardware ram, but more gb of virtual ram.
It can be, that the computer will just use the rest space of the drive.
But the computer also could get damage. It´s your own risk to try it, i don´t take any responsibility.
i want to know , how to speed up my ram,
i have two pc one with xp and other with windows 7
please help.
Greetings MoritzB
I renamed it like it said but yet no its not there??
Then check if it´s working on one other pc.
Otherwise i don´t know what to do else.

A light wintry mix could move in for Thursday.
KMBC's Joel Nichols said the skies will be quiet and sunny to start the day, but by 5 p.m. Thursday, a wintry mix could move into the area and complicate the afternoon and evening commute.
"The stuff that reaches the ground could make your bridges, overpasses, sidewalks, driveways and parking lots a little slick, " Nichols said.
The storm system is expected to track off to the east by 10 p.m.
Friday is expected to be sunny with a high of about 40 degrees. Saturday will be partly sunny and 34 degrees. There is a chance for rain on Sunday with temperatures about 42 degrees.

Doctors Say Seven Years Enough Time to Insure All
Physician Plan for Insuring Everyone By 2009 Presented to Congressional Staff
(Washington, DC): The American College of Physicians- American Society of Internal Medicine (ACP-ASIM) has released a comprehensive plan to ensure that all Americans have health insurance within seven years.
"We've all learned that changing the health insurance system cannot be accomplished overnight, but it is abundantly clear that it will never be accomplished without an established framework and a clear time table," said ACP-ASIM President Sara Walker, MD, MACP. "We are asking Congress for a commitment to build on the successes of the American health care system by expanding programs that are already in place and functioning."
Under the College's proposal a subsidized health insurance program would be available to all who lack another form of coverage. Health insurance plans would be required to offer a standard basic package of benefits, including preventive services, as a condition of participating in the new subsidy program. Qualified insurance companies would also be required to agree to uniform new federal rules on risk rating and renewability. Coverage would be available to individuals through purchasing group arrangements. These groups would allow individuals access to the steeply discounted rates that insurers currently only offer through large or mid-size employers and provide "one stop" shopping for qualified health plans.
To reach the goal of insurance for all Americans, the College believes that Congress should enact legislation to establish a framework of a step-by-step plan to make affordable coverage available to all Americans. The College's plan calls on Congress to adopt a resolution establishing the goal of making health insurance coverage available to all citizens within seven years.
"Our plan prioritizes the neediest people for the quickest action," said Dr. Walker. "Those making less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level would receive relief from the high cost of health insurance beginning in 2005."
In addition to expanding eligibility and funding for Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Programs (S-CHIPs), the ACP-ASIM proposal calls for a premium subsidy program, starting with individuals with incomes between 100 and 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL). The subsidy program would later be extended to uninsured persons with incomes above 200% of the FPL. The subsidy would be applied toward the purchase of individual coverage to be offered through purchasing group arrangements, toward the employee's contribution to employer-provided health insurance or toward a "buy in" into the S-CHP program.
The legislation will establish basic benefits requirements and market reforms for health plans as a condition of participation in the premium subsidy program. The basic benefits package would be based on recommendations of an advisory commission to be appointed by Congress. The commission would also report annually on the effectiveness of measures to expand health insurance coverage.
"Even if Congress does not agree to everything we are proposing, we hope to succeed in challenging the conventional wisdom that nothing can or will be done to make health insurance coverage available to everyone before the close of the decade," said Dr. Walker. "We intend to show that it is possible to make coverage available to all within seven years by building upon the current health care system."
The American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine is the nation's largest medical specialty organization and the second largest physician group. Membership encompasses more than 115,000 internal medicine physicians and medical students.

FS Two CC aluminum boats Duracraft 17' & Triton 18'
Item Name: Two CC aluminum boats Duracraft 17' & Triton 18'
Location: Sylvester GA
Willing to Ship: No
Item is for: Sale Only
Sale Price: 7,200 & 16,500
Item Description: I am listing my dad's boat (Duracraft) and my boat (Triton) on here for sale. Here is the information we listed today on Craigslist.
DURACRAFT Listing
2003 Duracraft 17.5' all welded center console boat. I have another boat that I use for crappie fishing and do not use this one as much. The boat comes with a MinnKota Edge 55Lb thrust foot control trolling motor. 2 - 12v batteries, one cranking, one trolling. 8 or 9gal fuel tank, rod holders, front and rear storage hatches. Humminbird and Lowrance depth finders. Boat drives perfect, motor runs perfect. Motor is a Honda 50Hp with power trim/tilt. Galvanized trailer with new trailer tires.
TRITON BOAT Listing:
I am selling my 2006 Triton Bay Sport 1870 center console aluminum boat, with a 2007 E-Tec 90HP Evinrude. I am the original owner, I purchased the boat the fish the Gulf flats but have never had the time since starting my business. I have about 20 hrs on the whole package. Motor runs absolutely perfect, never takes more than the twitch of the key to crank and get going. Power trim/tilt. With a full tank of gas and one person this rig tops out at 44mph. It gets on plane in an instant.
This model boat is designed to excel in shallow water, and although its 18' long, and 8ft WIDE at the beam it drafts only 7" of water. You can really get into the skinny stuff with this rig. It has a 35gal forward mounted fuel tank (helps keep the boat level to run shallow), and 27" deep side gunnels. This boat is very, very stout. Includes two large storage boxes up front, both with inner lip to keep things dry, extra large livewell in the rear deck with divider. There is storage under the console, and a front enclosure on the console which doubles and a seat/storage well.
It comes rigged with a 55lb thrust MinnKota Riptide, and includes the Auto-pilot functionality. co-pilot wireless remote, and optional foot control pedal. I am also including my Hummingbird 757 C2 depth finder with GPS.
I have 5 seats for the boat, 2 that slide in a track behind the console, and 3 more for pedestals, however I only have two pedestals that I use. I am including my 2 20lb river anchors with the boat.
The trailer is galvanized and includes a full spare. Tires are in excellent shape because there hasn't been much use on the rig.
Any questions, please call seven seven zero, eight four five, three one three four. You can also reply to this add via email. Thanks for looking.
