I've found after
Christmas through early Spring to be the better season to get deep discounts on
boat stuff. There are a couple of bright spots.
West
Marine will have the
Garmin 741xs for $899 which is a great deal considering people were saying $1099 was a really good
price a few months ago and it's only early-middle of what has been the typical
Garmin product lifecycle.
As mentioned in another thread, Milltech
Marine has the Vesper XB-8000 and a few other
AIS units deeply discounted all week.
Those are probably the two best deals I've found so far although I probably won't jump on either, as tempting as they are.
I'm hoping
Sailrite shows us a little love this holiday season as I need to replace all the zippers in my
bimini and make tabs for mounting flexible
solar panels. The little bits and pieces add up. I might go in for a hot knife too if the
price was right.
