For as much water that surrounds the area and so many lakes in our area...its impossible to find places that stock the things Im after. Im tired of having to order everything. Hell my dealers around act like i have 3 eyes when asking about anchor buddy, box anchor, river anchor, Bullet/wetsounds/Exile speakers, transom straps and hell even suggestions about packing nut wrenches besides a damn pipe wrench. A pipe wrench will not work in my vdrive unless I hack the handle.

Guess I should expect it in this area...go through the same thing with my Land Rover LR3. No one will touch it with a ten foot pole. I have to order everything even wipers or pay top dollar at dealer. Wipers shpuld not cost $100 plus and change them 3x/yr!

I can top that. 1999 infinity Q45 headlight. $1,400 for one side. I found a used one at a salvage for $750.

The stuff I ordered from Bakes for my mailbu was at my door before my fingers left the keyboard.

my nearest inboard dealer is 150 miles away, and apparently my nearest land rover dealer is over 60 miles away.

Never mind not knowing what tower speakers are, most people out here dont know what an inboard wakeboard boat is!

150 miles from Amherst round trip you mean? Aren't you only like 70 miles from Boston?

Check with DIM Discount Inboard Marine they are out of South Carolina. A lot of their parts work with Bu's. You can also call Chuck Alleger at Bay Area Watersports in Land O Lakes,Fl. He is the Mastercraft Dealer in the Tampa area, but is an authorized Indmar repair shop which is what is used in most Bu's. If it has to do with an Indmar engine or drive train he can get it.

for those of us on the west coast - we're glad that Bakes is here - we're blessed with a couple of great dealers who truly enjoy promoting the boating lifestyle - :blush:
