Not about how they can’t get to your rig in a timely fashion, or how other boats seem to be getting slid in front yours, or how you lost 1/2 your fishing season, yada yada yada. Everybody wants to bad mouth the local guy because of his price, then drive 10 hours to save a couple k on $80K boat, and then come back a year later and tell everyone how bad their service is but forget to include the fact the went out of state to buy the boat. Nobody ever thinks about our cost of living being higher, wages through the roof competing with the energy sector, the 2.5% unemployment rate (meaning there’s nobody to hire and those that you do get paid dearly), or possibly that they’re a smaller dealer and don’t get the same manufacture deals as the big high volume dealers. I’ve played on both sides of the fence and my new rig is from a local dealer. Food for thought gentleman. Like I said earlier, I’m not gonna say one mans opinion is any better than the next, but there’s a value on everything, just remember where you placed your value before making that next complaint.</blockquote>
