You see, that is what I don't understand. I am fixing THE problem, although with some input from a website.

The other problem I have is that I have been forced to contemplate buying another boat and asking myself, from what manufacturer?

So I asked, is paying for minimum weight worth it?
And then I asked, how do the warranties compare?

Never did I ask "Is this covered?" All though many others did.

What did I find out? That everyone seems a bit touchy.

I am a bit touchy too. I bought a brand new Ranger for considerably less than I paid for a brand new Blade. And yet I anticipate it to last much longer than five years of year around use.
