<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>Many times, I have found that Fawcett's prices are lower
than boat US and West. They used to be very high, but in the face of competition
comptete well. (And you can get a free slip in Annapolis at their dock if you
call ahead)<BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>*********** REPLY SEPARATOR

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree about Fawcetts and do give them some

<DIV><FONT size=2>Ocean Outfitters has changed hands over the past year and
a half. You can occaissionaly find a good buy there, usually rigging
and hardware fittings or cabin accessories and older electronics. Not a bad
way to spend an hour or so. Easy to find. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I love Bacons for sails , sailbags , sailcovers etc. Most
of their fittings are not much cheaper than West Marine. Good selection of
winches from time to time. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>As for BAM , I've been twice and felt it was a grand waste
of time and won't go back again. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If you want service , knowledgeble staff who are willing
to work with you on ordering parts etc, you CAN"T beat Fawcetts. Prices are
not that much above West Marine and you get service.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree with your assessment IF your talking
about last October. I generally go just to check it out anyway. If I'm
really looking for something in particular, I buy it new from a major
chandlery or the manufacturer anyway. Sometimes, BAM has some great
gadgets for cheap $, sometimes it is a waste of time. In any case, it's an
excuse for a road trip to Annapolis and if I go at the right time, I get
to spend an hour or two in Bacon also.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I just heard of another
consignment shop in Annapolis. "Ocean Outfitters" Does anyone have
any opinions on these guys as compared to Bacon? Is it worth my time to
check them out (my time is cheap if I'm in town anyway)?</FONT></DIV>
