i'm ready to finally upgrade my plotter and radar. Anyone know of any good upcoming sales?
 
Try the GPS Store. Best price I could find for VHF radio.

I recieved a product, where the box had been opened, the product used and set up--and some pieces missing from the "GPS store". I had the devil of a time returning and having that product replaced. I had to send the original back, fill out reports, and then wait. GPS store is BBB acredited; A+, Your experience may differ.

BOE Marine has a brick and mortar store, and has been reliable in my experience. I have also used Defender (which has sold since I last used it)..

There is minimal mark up in Marine electronics, unlike many other Marine supplies, where there is a 60% markup. (At one time I had an OEM account with a number of the primary suppliers, and that was my price. We were building a 38' sailboat, and had bought the company which owned the mold, along with their inventory, and OEM accounts. etc)
 
https://www.fisheriessupply.com/ is another store I have found certain items fairly priced. And many times, I find that West Marine, with it's sales, can offer a good deal. And at least with my local store, returns are very easy. I'm not sure, but I think they will price match as well.
 
I have made purchases from BOE and the GPS Store with good success. Last few purchases have been from https://www.hodgesmarine.com/, as they seem to beat others on inventory, price and very fast shipping (I have not had a shipping few on my last four orders. Defender was once my favorite, but since they were bought out, have become more inline with West Marine.
 
I second Steve's mention of Hodges. I forgot to mention them with my earlier post. (I was actually thinking of Hodges when I typed Fisheries supply.) Colby
 
They're all about the same price as what Garmin is offering on their website. As that's the case i'll cut out the middle man. Maybe there will be some labor day sales
 
Second BOE Marine, esp specials, re-manufactured and 'open box' units with full warranty.

I ordered from Lisa at Ultimate passage.
Good pricing.
 
When I set up my CC23 with all new electronics, I ordered from Lisa at Ultimate Passage as well.
I actually called and talked with her on the phone before making the purchase. I gave her the list of items that I wanted, and she sent me a price quote. Significantly less than the advertised prices. They shipped very fast and I would not hesitate to use them again.
