Well the folks in MN are blessed with water and with boat stores, here in Ohmygawd Nebraska, I purchase most of my marine needs through online companies such as iboats.com, Wholesalemarine.com, Overtons, and Boatersmarinesupply. We do have a marine store, but prices are higher, little is stocked unless your craft is less than 10 years old, and its clear on the other side of town.
