Speaking of cost, the guy who shrinkwrapped Yo Ho for me did the job

Of course, he didn't have any overhead. In the past you always
promoted the concept of paying the extra money to the dealer. What
happened?





Of course he has overhead, crap-for-brains.

I don't mind paying the dealer for the mechanical expertise and parts
inventory he must carry, but activities such as "detailing" and
shrinkwrapping don't require either, and I see no reason to pay dealer
prices for them.

If you had a boat, you'd understand. But, of course, you don't.

I actually use my marina's boat store for 90% of my needs, but they
always meet competitive prices for parts and supplies. I do most of the
maintenance and winterization myself. I actually enjoy putzing around
on the boat, but then again, I would enjoy taking a long cruise on a
floating RV, you know a trawler.
