In the May 1, 1999 Practical Sailor Vol 25 No 9 Dorcy's "The Boss"
flashlight beat out the competition hands down for a tough, waterproof
boat light.

Only problem is that Dorcy lights of this model were impossible to find
in our patch of the desert.

A call to Dorcy revealed that they are wholesale only, but they informed
us that they make the same model for Sears under the "Craftsman" label.

The 3 D cell model is #993065 for about $11.00
The 2 D cell model is #993064 for about $8.50

We picked up one of each and the first impression is favorable. The
3-cell is much brighter and has a more focused beam. The 2-cell has a
faceted reflector that makes a nice even light.
