You're right. My numbers were off if one had to buy everything new and used Ultracote instead of tape. Our club bought several Boomerangs at the same time so we all got a small price break. That estimate was secondary to to main point of my reply to the original. From the perspective of someone who doesn't personally know the original poster, it "appeared" to have been written by someone with only a 7th grade education. It may have been written in haste to get the information out with no regard to sentence structure or any other number of explanations. I am by no measure an English scholar but I do attempt to make my posts as grammatically correct as my Florida education allows. I've been known to be quite cynical at times and I probably over analyzed the entire post. I won't go into what I assumed was going on because we all know what happens when we assume. I regret and apologize for offending anyone and in the future I will think twice before posting so late at night.
