I shop at Defender because they have good prices. West Marine prices are totally out of line. Just check the price on bottom paint at both stores and you will see for yourself. Fortunately I live 40 minutes from Defender. Oh and the other thing is Defender has everything in stock unlike WM. I once need a 4 foot length of 14/2 wire for a new outlet in my boat and they were out of it. The stupid clerk then tried to sell me single conductor wire in black white and green. I have no use for WM. I’d rather drive 40 minutes and deal with folks that actually know about boat because they own boats of their own.
