Well, while we're at it, what the money grabbing rapacious marina
operators? *Why not just give them a printing press and let them print
money?

You missed the point. *There aren't enough rich customers willing to pay
$99 for the cheapassed Chinese 12V fan the company paid $8 for. *The
average guy passes it by. *IF we had priced the little plastic box fan at
$48, making only $40/fan, They could have sold lots more at higher
profits.....duhh...


like any body or any business, some swear by them, some swear at them.

From the complaints I've seen on the "net. there's plenty that have
sworn at W. marine. More so than compliments.
