What up BOCA? I'm kind of excited as I just finally got my new anchor winch! Ok, I'm not as excited as Jeff (Dog House..new bitchin engine). I've been penny pinching lately but, have really been wanting a good deal on the power winches. Finally I found a brand new one at West Marine which was a display model and had no box and a few scratches. It was marked down from $759 to $499. Good but, I didn't want to pay that much so I asked for the manager and pointed out the scratches and the fact that it has been on the mark down shelf for over a month. Asked her if she could go any lower. Surprisingly she went to $250 out the door! Now Tenacious has a new Power Winch 1000 and I won't have to break a sweat when getting U/W. Sometimes patience pay off.
