I was hoping to create a new thread for this review but I'm not allowed in this forum.
So I bought this flag because of the thread. The one I was using was showing its age badly and a couple of PMs was all it took to get a new one in my front door.
The actual transaction was a piece of cake. Paypal took care of the money exchange and within 2 days I had a new flag with a very good looking pole/attachments.
General view of the whole thing assembled
Starting with the attachment points, I like that everything is neatly terminated
The flag itself is double stitched every where, not rocket surgery but I've seen crappy flags out there. The stiffener is also well placed in the grommet, again nothing to carry an all night conversation, but I've seen what it looks like when is done without paying attention, it translates into a short life.
As a boater, the flag and flagpole tends to be way down in the priority list. As long as there is one and it is legal, no one worries about it. Until one day you are really detailing the boat and notice that the wooden pole has developed a full ecosystem, and there is no telling how many diseases are being brewed in there.
Having the fiberglass pole with the base fitting the rod holder, will not only make it visually pleasant but I predict this will last a long time.
Thanks for posting about it here and making it so easy to get. Easy for the price and easy for the lack of drama during the transaction.
