I try to differentiate between routine, required, and recommended maintenance items. Anything that is necessary to maintain the warranty I typically have done, if it is a recommendation/suggestion then it likely does not get done. The best thing I ever did was find a reputable, local shop to perform the maintenance on our Toyotas. I took both of ours to the dealer while they were covered under Toyota care (free oil changes and service for 24 months) The dealerships have been surviving on their service departments and have become very aggressive (predatory actually) and expensive with their service recommendations.

For sure! Hoping we will be able to make the trip. We will be in IFalls June 20 and June 28 for the afternoon/evening. I hope you will be up to your camp and maybe we can meet you somewhere for dinner and catch up.

Folks, this is a Cadillac of boats and I was fortunate enough to have a chance to fish with Dutchboy this past summer. In terms of stability and room, I cannot imagine a boat with more of either of these characteristics. I think you could fish 4 men in this rig if you had to. The boat is well taken care of, clean, organized. Definitely worth a look if you are in the market for a used boat. Dutch is a pretty decent fisherman too, make him take you for a test fish! Ha!
