What’s your favorite boat store

[Djeffrey]

Hey everyone, I live in Colorado and am heading up the Oregon coast into Washington to Anacortes to rent a boat this summer. Not a lot of boat supply stores here..... go figure! Would like to know your favorite supply store up that way. Internet shopping is good but I like putting my hands on some things before buying. Looking at engines, windows, seats, electronics and anything else that goes into a GA. Thanks for your help

There's not a lot of boat stores, period, I think.  Englund Marine is a reasonable store and there's one in Newport.  Their website is http://www.englundmarine.com

There's a couple of West Marine stores in Portland, but they can be a little proud of their merchandise.

Harry's Bait & Tackle is good for ... tackle, and they're on the waterfront in Newport.  I've been shopping there all my life - nice family run kind of place.  That's where you want to buy your crab rings by the way - get the  larger black ones.

There are lots of Marina type stores, at least one in every town on the beach, but I can't remember anyone in particular, so your mileage may vary.

Not much help - but I hope the above does help!  I do 99% of my shopping online nowadays (my bad).
