    Needs Yalls Advise or Opinions

    Thinkin of turning up the boat business a notch or two. I am thinking of running some adds etc. To post on Lasportsman.com you must be a listed business to be in their rules which is 180 dollars a year 15 bucks a month or i can buy 3 months for 75 dollars. I would like to buy a sponsor deal here but can really afford it and feel I would actually get out to more people I dont know on sportsman. Do yall think it would be worth it to pay to get on there or do you know of other sites that would get more local attention as I doubt people from other states will be driving down here to get their boats polished and worked on. but with all the medical bills from the surgery and all I would like to stay 2 deep for a while in boats to work on to get my savings built back up without having to live at the plant workin overtime. Really not sure what to do.Funny i do less for more money at the plant but I would much rather be at home workin for myself and being able to have the satisfaction of seeing the job turn out like I want.

    Don't matter, i cut grass for friends and friends of friends, it's a business and any good friend will know it not have a problem, and the general public will be just as happy with the results you do.

    Re: (DOUGMCGEEFTD)

    Word of mouth or a few flyers in the local boat and bait shops would probably get all the work you need. And maybe some business cards.

    I still want you to look at the front and rear cap on my 5th wheel, just no time to get there yet. (Wanna make a house call?) Also need some work on EvoZilla where the cover straps scratched the sides.

    Re: Needs Yalls Advise or Opinions (Cooney)

    Someone asked me the other day if I knew anyone that did minor scratches. Do you go any more than that? Say, a patch? Just wondering, cause I will push your name out there to all I know.
    But, I do think LA Sportsman is the way to go. And you have all of us on the LA Board to call on as references. I think we have all seen your work in person or pics from your posts.
