sounds pretty cool to me.  for Pri-G, the cheapest source i've found for it
is River Marine Supply, i believe they are in florida.  their website is at:
http://www.rivermarinesupply.com/

i got a 16-oz bottle of Pri-G from them for $9.95 or so, they shipped it UPS
to Ryan's place for about $4.00 or so.  all in it was less than $15.00.
usually i find the 16-oz bottles of that for more than i paid total, plus
shipping.  i ordered it on a friday or saturday, i believe it was delivered
on the following Wednesday or thursday.  quick service and a good price,
can't beat that.
