West Marine has their 650 MCCA starting battery on sale for $39.95.
Good deal- Snagged one. They have a $5.00 core charge on your old
battery- so bring them one if you buy it.

I bought one today. I asked if there was a core charge since I didn't
have an old battery with me. They said no. It is the 665 MCA that is
on sale for $39.95 not the 650 MCA. That is a $30.00 savings.

When the salesperson rung up the sale he told me that he got a $1.00
commission on every battery the store sold. I have no idea why he told
me that.



I picked mine up today and they forgot about the $5 core charge.... ;-)

I also picked up 2 gallons of the Interlux epoxy barrier coat
paint.......also on sale through next week @ $64.50/gallon. Interlux
suggests 5 coats (!!) but I will see how many I will get out of these 2
gallons.

Looked at helm seats, pedestals, A/B switches and bimini's..........all
things I will be soon buying for the boat.

I was also planning on replacing the AM/FM/Cassette stereo but decided on
keeping it and buying an Ipod Nano instead, playing the tunes on the
stereo via a radio signal device attached to the Ipod.

As a side: The Boat/US store in Port Clinton is now a West Marine even
though there is another West Marine 1/8 mile north. Strange.

No, a few weeks ago, BOAT/US sent out a letter saying its stores were
becoming West stores.


I knew it was coming but it does not make sense to have 2 stores within 1/8
of a mile of each other. ;-)
