TruPlug Could Save You and Your Boat Simply By Plugging That Unexpected Hole in the Water!

Simple, useful in an emergency, for sure!

APtravelnews-New Product Review-April 11th, Port St. Lucie, FL-Bob and Barb “On The Water Again.”-Yes, during my daily boating adventures when I lived on the water in the Keys, I wish I had one or more of these new TruPlug units. Soft, pliable, but very, very strong, it can be jammed into a hole or crack in your boat to stop the leakage caused by the damage.

Writing this, due to the fact that about every boater at one time or another has run over something that causes a breach in the bottom or side skin of their boat. An impact breach, like getting hit by the bow of another boat, or hitting a piling, can be devastating, but these floating units can save the day by inserting, pushing & twisting it into the breach, or through hull hole!

This item is a soft, cone shaped plug, designed to conform to the irregular and unpredictable shapes of a hull breach or a round hole too! For an emergency, you should have a few in your boat! The unit is a true stop-gap solution for an emergency leak. The item is a tapered 9-high by 5-inch wide at the base life saver, in our opinion! They also have a very neat smaller TruPlug unit suitable as a key chain that also floats. If you lost your hull water plug, this will work, if you need a plug for your bait box drain, you got it! A great temporary plug, anytime its needed! Go: www.truplug.com 

Flexible and will push into any crack or hole!

APtravelnews-March 3rd,-Bob & Barb “On The Road Again” this time in Port Charlotte, FL.-After settling in at the Sleep-In & Suites Port Charlotte, we headed over to Florida Tracks & Trails. This new big and little kids outdoor, very interactive attraction, sits on a portion of about 1000-acres, of which many of this original cattle ranch has been turned into tracks and trails for all manner of powered, off trail equipment. Have you ever wondered where all those pick-up trucks are going loaded with 4-wheelers and off-road motor cycles, well wonder no more, we found out where. They are heading for Florida Tracks & Trails in Punta Gorda, Florida. Eddie Lopez Chief Public Safety and Security took us around some of the property and it was a lively and active place. Everywhere we went we saw no cell phones being used by teenagers here. The park according to local business owner who grew up working on the previous properties ranch and cattle farm, is all about family values. Parents and children that play together stay together! This project is ongoing and planned is a large RV park, fee fishing ponds, a zip line, a drag strip, (they already have a helicopter pad). Bob & I felt that watching the children swimming in the crystal clear, beautiful lake with a sandy beach that several Caribbean Nations would envy, was very refreshing, being that whole families were involved together on a fine Sunday afternoon.
