I too guess I am one of the lucky few. My 250 Verado is coming 5 and hasn’t missed a beat. I had several JonRudes over the years and I blew all of them except a 50 hp which I only had a few months.
I’ve never been a Lew’s user but I did like that store. Maybe I’ll get to like the Boat Works store as well. It’s just that there are big temptations one has to walk by on the way in.
I have been watching them and Baylor all season. They have been the more consistent from tip off to final buzzer than any other teams that I have watched. Baylor is good but I think Gonzaga is better. Time will tell.
I think it would be anybody’s guess since the parent company has a variety of holdings and is only looking at the bottom line. Online sales wouldn’t surprise me since they now have a big distribution center in the Republic industrial park and are just down the road from the new ginormous Amazon building.
I went there today for the first time. It is not very big but it is well stocked. I was looking for Rock Krawlers. They had 2 sizes and about a dozen colors in each size. They also had a good selection of War Eagle spinner baits. I will definitely be going back.
Today’s electronics are juice hogs. I had that trouble with Lowrance units in my last boat. I switched to the Sears PM 1 battery. I also had it with Hbirds in my current boat. I now have a Batteries Plus Bulbs X2. I haven’t found any other one that can do the job and not die graveyard dead in a year.
