I spent 30+ years fishing Penn 704/706s. As Joe said, if you take care of Penns they will last you forever. Clean the washers. Convert the 704s to manual pickup so you don't have bail spring problems and asways have spare dog spring on hand.
My wife and kids bought me a VS 250 2 years ago and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The Penns are now backups.

No boat, back in the suds.
