West has too many stores today, many will be shut.



Charleston has 3, including the old Boat/US store they bought. I suspect
it and the N Charleston store to close as the West Ashley store is just
across the river from the main marinas. Boaters World is also open here.
Not sure what their condition is.

You're right about boating for only the rich, now. How can any "vehicle"
that has no tires/suspension system/air conditioning of any kind/ and such
a rudimentary engine and transmission with so few real systems sell for so
much money. They killed themselves with greed.
