You'll like Boaters World a lot.

Actually not.

I have both BW and WM within a mile or two of my house. BW tries hard
and they do have better prices, but WM has much better selection and
service, not to mention an excellent return policy.


That's an accurate assessment of each. But if price is the main
consideration, Boaters World wins hands down.

I do 90% of my shopping at West Marine, because they're closer to my home,
and have an excellent return policy (as you stated). But I always wait
for something that I need to go on sale there before I go shopping. When
they have their one of their "friends and family sales", you can buy a lot
of top of the line merchandise for up to 40% off.




Items over $100 ship for free from BoatersWorld.com. They also do charge
sales tax on internet orders.
