I often refer newcomers to the area to visit this store if they are going boating. Mac and I have a 1 year membership and also unlimited towing because we save a ton of money when we buy boating supplies. We often go there for ropes, cleats, life jackets, sunglasses, watches, bumpers,and other cool lake gear. Life jackets,bumpers, and ropes tend to walk off when you go to tie-ups frequently. We also have the boat towing because the boat is a 1978 Carver, so you never know... 02/01/2010
