: Rolls makes a great battery, no question. On the other hand the cost of a Rolls 8D is somewhere north of $500 if my memory is correct. I recently purchased a brand X 8D from NAPA auto parts for $160. Assuming I get the usual 5 years from it, I'll be money ahead. Yeah, but you will lose "dock prestige" if they ever discover the cheap batteries after all that braggin' about only using the most expensive batteries on earth in such a fine yacht....like the rest of them do.... Larry -- How much price inflation is caused by illegal aliens gobbling up goods and services, creating shortages for the natives? I heard 40%! |

Larry -- Boaters ask each other questions about what systems they use on their boats -- happens in every marina, every day. If boater "A" says, "I use only Optima batteries!" because they like them, and boater "B" says, "Good enough, I prefer Rolls," is the Rolls owner bragging and expecting to gain this mythical "dock prestige," or are they simply passing on information? Would you have Rolls owners remain silent about their batteries to avoid appearing "snobbish," or would you have them lie, claiming instead that they use Duracells? You can be a very silly person at times, you know? |

et: You can be a very silly person at times, you know? GUILTY AS CHARGED! Male humans have been comparing the sizes of their penises since the language was a series of grunts and screams. This has not changed, just because we are on a dock. Larry -- Mine IS bigger'n urs....fo sho! |

That, and after a long weekend at anchor somebody has to be able to jump start the fleet of guys who think that cheaper is better. :-) |
