Joe,

They will charge you nearly the cost of a new one to
recertify it.

If you want to use, it test it yourself, repackage it,
and load in new supplies--all yourself.

It may not stop a sinking ship, but it might keep it
afloat longer.

Picked up a 30 man switlik liferaft this weekend at a garage sale.

Its been well taken care of, and shows no wear at all. It was a govt
issue that came off an aircraft. Do you think it can be re-certified ,
or is it just to old?

It would also be great as a last resort to stop a sinking boat. Just
toss it in the galley and pop it off. It gotta be huge.
