I try to keep my boat as American as possible.

I have a Duranautic 16 aluminum side console. Made in Marathon NY.
My outboard is a 30hp e-etc made in the USA
Motorguide xi3 made in the USA
Starting and trolling batteries made by EastPenn in the USA
Load right galvanized Trailer made in the USA
My boat cover was made in the USA


I am sure the peripherals like the gas tank, steering equipment, onboard MinnKota charger, and my Humminbird fish finder were made in China.

Same for little things like the switch board, switches, fuses and lights.......

I try my best to keep my neighbors working.

My boat was built in California. Fresno to be exact -- that still counts as made in the US, Lol. Trailer is made in USA. Minn Kota TM made in USA (I think).

My Scotty down riggers are made in Canada (I think). Honda outboard made in Japan.

FF and accessories are SE Asia I'm sure, just like Sonny.Barlie said.

sitting. Like they all do. They sit.

I know guys who have $200K tied up in pleasure boats and use them once a year. I wish I had that kind of banroll to just buy a 1/4 million dollar boat and let it sit there in a storage room somewhere. Or in one case just sits behind the house so the birds can poop all over it and the rats can make nice neat nests out of the wiring.
