So there's one honest WM employee who probably felt guilty about selling HDS-5's back in the day to Hispanic kayakers at double the price. But that wasn't really a large impact as there are only two in all of SoCal...EastLosYakker and you. Jim.

I'll save my comments for when I see you at the next event.

There's gotta be more than two...unless the quota was filled for the BWE affirmative action program. Haha!

I am surprised to see any kind of warranty on anything electronic, most of the time if you plug something in all bets are off. This is great business sense by West Marine. Happy customers keep coming back, hopefully the manufacturer stands behind them but one way or another it's very smart on West Marines part. I haven't bought from them yet but they will be where I go when I buy my VHF radio.

I've been shopping at westmarine since I bought my boat back in 2003, I've spent thousands of dollars there and with the exception of a bad experience that I had at the San Pedro store I've always received great service from them. So long as they continue to have the same policies I will continue to shop there.
