Boat stuff buying advice:

[beamie]

I have been using Defender for years.

However, get this. A few years back on a rainy day I took a ride to the cape to buy a rule washdown pump for the boat. Called ahead of time to see they had in stock and would match competitiors price. Well, I brought the Defender catalog in and the price was like $119 to Wests $179. The store manager was sh*tting, called denfender to ask. The deal was good. but the bastage charged me the would be freight from NY to my house. I still saved $40 bucks.

Hamilton Marine in Maine is great too. Lately I have been using them.

I would have said if that was the case, he should wave the sales tax that I wouldn't have to pay ordering out of state...

West Marine is the biggest ripoff going. However I spend hundreds of dollars there because it is very convenient for me.
