Ongoing problem. Snakes on the boat. I have not found one inside yet but they love to hang out on the transom, gunnels , etc. I am in NC and the boat stays in the water at my dock. Water moccasins and Copperheads are a concern.
How the hell do I keep them off the boat!!
Trivantage is notorious for very high shipping....many do not use them because of this. Yes, shipping is very high and I just figure the cost into the project. Increased quantity may help, but I don't want to get stuck with excess materials laying around for months or longer so I order per job...
I would feel the same as you but let it go as there is no good ending. Many people are dumbasses in many regards and it's why my circle of close friends is tiny.
