Whelp, I haven’t asked for anything strange for a while, and I haven’t heard from **Ceyln** (sp?) in a while too, so here goes…

From the producers of “Where Can I Buy a Prince Rupert’s Drop?”…

-and-

the caterers of “What is/where is the swiss army knife of lap desks?”…

comes

“Where can I buy an inflatable pedal boat?” I just got back from vacation and the g/f and I had a great time pedal boating. We want to buy one, but a fiberglass 100 lb. thingie would need a trailer (which doesn’t mesh with the small apt.). I’ve searched google and have only found strange 1 person inflatable boats for $3000 or so, and nothing resembling a good old $600 pedal boat. Extra credit if you can find one with a canopy :). Thanks for the help.

What is the best way to track down someone on the internet?  
What are some sights in which to find out information on people?  
Exactly how much information about someone is out there anyway?  
Seems all other kinds of information is out there, but how much personal information is out there for grabs from say a social security number or drivers license number?

thanks in advance,  
Osip

Eh? I take it this was posted in the wrong thread…

Um, thanks for trying **Wilbo** , but those links pointed to hard paddle boats, whereas the OP was looking for an inflatable one.

I’ve seen inflatable canoes and such, but never an inflatable one of those. If you find one, tell me. I want one!
