Until it's more.

I buy most of my supplies at Defender, and I see they sell Samson and New England, so I'm sure I have some of each.
Any lines that look "suspect" I remove them from the boat and use them at home. Not that I really know they are bad, but I want lines I can trust on my boat. It's not uncommon to have tx storms with 75 mph gusts come out of nowhere.
Just like ground tackle, I want good stuff holding me in the slip.
