You have said for years.....this is a new thing. Give them a chance. They will likely get pricing more in line. Our WM in our area, one of the biggest ones in the country, actually has very knowledgeable people working there so it is not just a bunch of retail pushers. Most are experienced boater that I know outside of their retail job. SO there is a local feel. It will be good to see them the tighten the focus on boating related things instead of that lifestyle crap.

I grew up in surf shops and it was the same struggle. Do you stick to the hard core surfing gear or do you go to the high yield "lifestyle" things like shirts and shoes and flip flops. I watched many surf shops die a slow death that way.
