Does anyone know a place as close to Boston as possible, that sells VHF radios at a good price?

russo marine in medford

Boat US in Waltham.

Not sure how close that is to you though.

I'll bet you could get one overnighted on the web for about what you'd pay at the local stores....Gota love delivery service

I prefer the local guys but recently BW or West (Dedham) had the Icom M-502 on sale for $249 which is a great radio at a good price

John,

The guy's in Braintree (west) know me by name. Same with Monahan's Sometimes it's just convenient to do the web thing.
Also my old grandad told me not to spend all my money in one place:D

Wjm - I actually like buying stuff on the web too. I just like doing things with the local mom & pop, whether Internet or brick & mortor shops, than with the chain stores - especially West & Boaters World and their typically HIGH pricing...

And yes, I like consumers :)

Yup..
Found SH to be very rugged radios for the money.. my handheld SH has been dropped etc on a steel deck.. still works great...
A+
Yeah I got it at west, got a good deal at the time, knew the sales guy...

Thanks for all your help. I went to West Marine last night and purchased the Intrepid. I'm going with John's advice. Thanks guy's
