If my local Boat US is any indication, the whole company should be up for

Check Boater's World first. Their prices are always cheaper unless West
Marine/Boat US is having a sale.



BOAT/US and Boater's World, in most locations, are staffed with clerks
who know almost nothing about boats. I used to shop at the BOAT/US
headquarters store in Alexandria, Virginia. It had one guy who was a
real boater and had knowledge of boating subjects.

Most West Marine stores have staff who know about boats.

Nobby probably gets dental patients who shop on price alone.
