Ever talk to someone who bought a Crapsman lawn mower?

That is one mistake I have not made.

I like John Deere green, and not the cheap box store crap with the same paint.

There is a lot less than high quality marine equipment coming out of China these days. Anchor chain just doesn't cut it inferior materials. Under water zincs to prevent galvanic corrosion between dis similar metals is just junk. They are now getting into marine exhaust manifolds. Poor workmanship and lousy end product.
