    • We dropped off our boat yesterday at Tommy’s in Rancho Cordova.  Business as usual,  and our boat is scheduled to be ready next week.

      Interesting thing. The Malibu dealer finder has Tommy’s back up for the Nor Cal dealers.  Maybe they worked something out. 

      I'm not seeing that?

       

      I might be crazy but it was definitely there a few hours ago.  You are correct, it is gone now.

    • My personal take on docking and other lights is that you end up blinding yourself and everyone near you with reflections or direct glare.  A handheld spotlight is your best bet for navigating a channel and trying to see the buoys, etc.  Turn the beam on (above the windshield), spot the marker, turn the beam off.  No real need to continuously sweep the area with a beam in most cases.  The more time you keep the big lights off, the better your eyes are at actually seeing things.

      And don't put the spot directly on another boat if you can see his nav lights.  You'll blind him and make him want to hunt you down.

      Tommy's is tiny compared to group 1, penske, auto nation etc. 
      Big chains seem to be what manufacturers want to work with. 

      In the world of Malibu they are MASSIVE.  Lets say Tommys was a Ford dealer and not Malibu.  It would be the same as if 300 dealers were out of trust and lost their franchise and were nearly out of business.  To make it even more eye opening is imagine if those 300 dealers sold 660,000 new fords last year!  That would send a big shockwave through the system.  Yes, manufacturers like big groups, but in Malibus world Tommy's is huge.  Lithia Motors was the number 1 auto group in 2022, selling 670k units, it would be the equivalent to losing that group, BUT they all sold for one manufacturer.
