(maybe to 50, not 50+?)

The 50+ from WM is $425

Check with LRSE in RI and Landfall Navigation in CT

It is best to buy these locally to avoid the hazmat shipping. Use the price match option that many places honor and buy at the store. Just have to check the expiration dates. i often look at the smoke can expiration dates if I happen to be at say West Marine and when a sales rep walks buy tell them they shouldn't be selling something that is going to exp soon. .....like that is going to make them take it off the shelf.....not.

If your serious about the flares and don't just want a prop for the CG get the Solas Approved flares, much more money but you get what you pay for. Were going to have some training soon with about a boat load of parachutes, smokes and handhelds soon, way out at sea where no one can see........

Take a ride up to Hamiltons

Got mine at hamiltons too.

those are solas flares

Just ordered from Hamilton online.$267.00 plus $25.00 fed-ex haz-mat shipping.
vs. 220 miles round trip@20mpg@4 bucks a gallon =$40.00 to go get it myself.

Figured they were Mike, I can't always open attachments.

Why are you buying flares at seasons end, not coming out for a while?

I've always gotten mine from Hamiltons.

Not hauling until December And I'm trying to get 50+ mile CGinspection. The only requirement keeping me under 50miles now is the solas flare kit.

Ditto, and they have a neat waterproof box for them as well.
