I want to support small business. But when it comes to marine supply there simply is none.

I only do West as a last resort. Hopefully they can turn the company around.

for me .. those guy's are a on line purchase.. when I bought my Bronwell boat stands they had the best price..I've bought a few other things from them as well..

I have to drive by West marine to get to work/ home every day... I don't buy much from them.. their hardware is all made in China and is of terrible quality...

I get all my hardware from Fastenall or McMaster Carr

west marine loves to sell extended warranties...but wait until you try and collect.. I bought the Extended warranty on an Icom VHf radio... 2 months out of factory warranty the LCD background went to full dim..when I brought it back they put me through the ringer.. they told me it was my responsibility to contact Icom about the issue.. after a lengthy "discussion" with the manager I threatened to call Corporate.. only then did they relent and give me a radio.. I had a simualr instance a few years earlier...yesterday I bought a couple of crappy 40 dollar speakers to replace the old ones ( 10 years old) so I can listen to the sox while I fish...the girl behind the counter tried( almost insisted) on me getting the extended.. pleading that it was only 8 bucks... my reply was " sweetie... these things are guaranteed for 2 years.. if they last that long Ill replace them but I'm not spending 1/6th of the price for an extended warranty for a crappy set of speakers.."I thought she was going to cry when I kept saying NO ..her manager was standing right behind her.. so I know they are pushing them so sell..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
