Good call. Compare and bargain. ---LH -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve and Diana Parsons Sent: Friday, June 06, 2008 10:37 AM To: For and about Montgomery Sailboats Subject: Re: M_Boats: M-15 Genoa Cost of Hardware
Larry, I actually use the "sinful" language when I deal with West Marine. It's fun to watch them flinch. When I do purchase from them, I usually have a catalog or web reference that shows the product I want at a much reduced price. They will match prices. For example, I wanted a Tempress hatch cover to put in the seat of my CDory. Cabella's was $49ish, and I think Worst Marine wanted $69ish. I got it for the Cabella's price.
