    In the past when I shopped around Ted's always had the
    highest prices.

    Ted's was never a REAL Ranger dealer he just happened to sell them.
    I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did as they are a rip off. My tournament
    partner took his boat there for repair and someone took both graph's that were
    flush mounted. Later found out it was an employee that was selling
    stuff on E-bay that he stole. Ted would not replace them. I heard he was
    selling out.

    A buddy of mine (never heard that before have you) just bought a tracker last week at Brownies. The salesman said that Brownies would be selling Ranger's next year. Of course we all have complete faith in a salesman word.
    The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer up someone else.

    It is about time. Ted is as crooked as the day is long. I talked to the guys at the factory about it 2 years ago when I had my boat down there for warranty work. They asked why I didn't go through Ted's and we had a lengthy conversation about why. They also lost Yamaha a year ago.
    Just another beer drinker with a fishing problem.

    I've always heard Brownie's was pretty good, I've never dealt them. Back in 2004, I was looking to trade the Venture I had for a Ranger. Looked at them at Ted's and could never get anyone to wait on me. I was ready to buy too.
