I try to plan my projects and buy most inline. I dont do wm often but I never pass one. I am the king of WM Orange tag discounts. I buy things I forgot I needed. I had been searching for a new
stove and found the one I wanted At WM brand new for $599 that were online for $1200. Also an incredibly heavy duty dingy cover for $40 that were listed at other sites for over $200. Yes they dont have everything but they are big enough to discount items others cant. But you have to check. I have been in
used boat supply stores and find the prices the same as new. I was chatting with a owner and he suggested I check with another company, I said I had just left there and was disappointed with the selection. He said that guy was a friend and that he has been moving inventory towards
fishing gear instead of
boat stuff as he sells more. Statement was that a sailor comes in every few years to buy a part but sport fishermen come in all the time for replacement. To stay open they all have to follow the
money weather shareholder or not.
Most boatyard Chandler are no more than a catalog show room.
