But again, those items will be prorated over their lifetime. And as long as you're buying quality stuff with a good warranty then that's not a problem. Especially since it's all written off at the end of the year (please see my previous "IANATA" comment).

Cancelled trips happen. It's part of the business. But when you have 3+ trips a week of 3+ anglers in the boat, that tends to make up for it.

If it wasn't such good work that paid respectably well there wouldn't be so damned many of them.
