If anyone is thinking about buying a boom, I'm trying to track down the best
price I can find on one of two booms:

Gulftech carbon boom
Fiberspar carbon boom

Both have the full carbon front end. Gulftech has proved itself to be the most
bomb proof boom around. Gulftech sells direct so no shops carry them. I've
also heard that Gulftech will give discounts for volume orders.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy one of the new Fiberspar booms, except that $460 is
just too much money.

So If you are thinking about buying a boom, let me know which boom you're
included to buy. I'm only taling about carbon booms, not aluminum. If we get
enough people, we can probably leverage a better price either from Gulftech or
from one of the local shops on some Fiberspars.
