I moved to Boise in the early spring of 2012 from South Dakota. I already had my boat, which I bought new in 2011. That boat, with the Yamaha outboard, never had to see the shop while I lived in Idaho. The crankcase and lower unit oil were incredibly easy to change on the 115 Yamaha, and Alumacraft makes a solid boat. With proper care, maintenance, and pride of ownership, it's rare to need a dealer. If you do need one, they are obligated by law to provide you with warranty work for those manufacturers.
I moved away from Boise back in February.
They don't need to know how or why you didn't buy the boat from them. For all they know, you were like me and moved here from out of state.
Look on their website for a price example. They are listing a 2014 Alumacraft Voyager 175 sport with a 90 for $25,200. That boat can be bought in MN or SD all day long for 2-4 grand less. That pays for the sales tax and then some. Heck, you can buy an upgrade model, the Competitor 175 with a 115 Yamaha around here for $25k, and its a much beefier, wider, better hull than the Voyager, with a larger motor.
Food for thought.
