Sorry to jump in here, but I thought you guys would be able to help me out. I'm moving out from Michigan to Spokane in August with my 230 Dauntless. I use the boat for everything from wakeboarding to salmon fishing in Lake Michigan. I heard that Trudeau's Marine in Spokane is the whaler dealer in the area.

Does anybody have any experience using them? Do they have a good reputation servicing whalers and Verados?

Also, I'm already thinking about boating CDA and Pend O'reille and Priest. Where else do you recommend we eventually hit? I rig for Salmon, so downriggers and trolling gear is no problem. Any idea on where that's useful?

By the way, I used to keep my whaler on a boat lift in my lake (connects to Lake Michigan), but now I'm probably going to just trailer it everywhere (I never want to own a lake home again!). I'd love any advice on where the best locations are to launch, beach, etc? Anybody trailer over to Puget Sound?
Thanks!
