To answer the question, they are not selling the flag and I think they have really missed the boat on this one.

Is it really a white circle with a gray fin in the middle of the tropical colors?

Sorry. Looks tacky to me.

They did a flag last year, if they think there's a market, they'll make 1 for this year. 8)

I've put out a couple of feelers and I think I can get a few of these made. I only want to do a few so I don't p*** anybody off in the Margaritaville world. I'll charge what it costs me plus the shipping to you.
They are printed on one side but you can see through so the logo will be visible on both sides and it will have standard flag grommets.
Figure $25 for 2'x3' and $35 for 3'x5'.

If you are interested PM me and let me know which size you would prefer. I will only get one size. I should be able to get it done in 3-4 weeks, maybe less.

Yeah.... I'm with you on that one.
The tropical colors are washed out. Looks like they modified someone's Easter garden flag.
I'll pass.

I don't know that they're washed out, just made with lighter, tropical colors. I think the material is purposely thin to let the light shine through. I like the colors, but would have done something more with the fin. Even the Landshark fin would have been an improvement.

Just came from the Kansas City show - it was awesome as usual! I would be interested in 1 or 2 of the Fin Land flags in 2' x 3'. Have you pinned down the price and how long it would take?

At this point we have our 12 units. If anyone drops out I contact the people that have posted on this thread that didn't get in. The flag is 3'x5', screened so you can see it from both sides and we got the cost down to $25 per flag.
I have sent PM's to the first 12 people with payment info. Get me the money and I will order them ASAP!
