Send some of those Mom and Pop stores to the Chicago area. West Marine
has
got things sewed up here, except for a Boating World store in the far
west
suburbs.


West Marine is 60 miles to Myrtle Beach, SC and 40 miles to
Wilmington, NC..... and they almost never have what you need.... they
parrot that it can be ordered on line. I wouldn't be standing in the
brick and mortar if I wanted to screw with the time delay and hassle
of shipping.

I'm celebrating the new Boaters World opening about 6 miles away.

Isn't Boater's World owned by West?

I traced them back to here......
http://www.ritzinteractive.com/websites.html

maybe somebody knows more about them than I do......

Boaters World is much cheaper than West Marine, unless West Marine has a
super special running (40-50% off). Of course, then their prices are the
same as West Marine's.


You'll like Boaters World a lot.




Most items WM will match internet price. Just print the ad and bring in.
