Its too bad the current ownership at Brown's is this way. Their service is great and we've used them for years. I talked to Bill Jr. early last year about buying a boat (2007 leftover) and tried to get him to beat a price from another dealer (for the 2008 model) which would have been a reduction of about $500. He declined and I see the boat just sold for $3000 less than when we talked. We trailer a boat and always stop in town to gas up just so we can avoid Brown's always high prices. Last year they were higher than most marinas but the difference wasn't that much more that I'd run across to Channel Marine to fill up when we were there on vacation.

$2.00 per gallon more just to use up last season's supply is insulting to their loyal customers who don't have the option of filling up in town.
