West Palm Beach, FL — With today’s skyrocketing fuel prices, fuel economy is more important than ever for sport fishermen. In response to this need, Ocean Master Sportfishing Boats has launched the Ocean Skiff 27 Center Console with super fuel efficient diesel power. The standard configuration features a diesel engine mated to I/O drive to provide amazing fuel economy and long range.

Recent testing of an Ocean Skiff 27 outfitted for a European search and rescue agency yielded 9.7 mpg in real world use.

According to health insurance experts, most Floridians cannot afford the health care plans currently offered in the state, or they simply hope for the best, and live without health insurance at all. “If you are one of those millions in Florida without medical coverage; you might want to take a close look at each the 2008 Candidates for President, and see where they stand on health care,” said Morgan Moran, a Florida health insurance consultant.

Tancredo favors association health plans which band small businesses together to access lower cost insurance.  

Last night Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton spoke about her health care plan which, according to Moran, “gives the choice of health insurance plans to pick from and, Clinton said her insurance coverage plans will be affordable.” Clinton also said, if you like the health insurance plan you currently have, you can keep it, or switch to a less expensive plan.
