Dec 20, Hunter Bremerton. Looking for any feedback on the West Marine Classic Dinghy. It is a Walker Bay look alike but a bit heavier. I would stow it on my foredeck and use it primarily while cruising the Puget Sound and San Juans Anonymous Jan 6, 1, Mikem, Don't you mean, "Waste Marine? It might behoove you to check the local marine adds. Take your time, look around first.
I would suggest that you take your time, look around first. Ken Cross. Oct 24, 2, Hunter 30 Everett, WA. The one he is talking about is a hard dinghy. I ended up with a used 8 foot Livingston that goes unused today.
The Livingston stability is really good but the modern inflatables are even better. The up side of the hard boats are better rowing. If you motor it isn't a big factor. Well I had a long reply typed but my cat stepped on the key board and deleted it so rather than typing it again I bought a boat show special West Marine Classic Dinghy and will give some feedback.
Speed is not a factor and my outboard is a 43lb 5hp 2 stroke Tohatsu. I don't want to go bigger heavier outboard wise. Keep you posted on the performance. Cheers, Mike. Capt jgw. Feb 8, 1, Columbia 36 Muskegon. I've never seen that particular dinghy except in the catalog, but I do know it's made here in Muskegon by KL industries who also make the Watertender 9.
Those are extremely popular around here and many of the owners have West Marine Dinghy Reviews Zone bought more than one. The West Marine dinghy looks a lot like the Walker Bay 10 which is a pretty decent boat, although not as commonly seen as the 8 footer.
I'm on my second WB 8 and an pretty happy with them, except that they are quite tender as any round bottom boat would be. I especially like the light weight for hauling in and out and hosting to the cabin top. Well my son, 2 year old grandson and I did a sea trial and that's when I noticed to my chagrin that the 3 person limit also had a weight limit as well. Well My son and I total and the little guy was 25 lbs and add 10lbs for oars and oarlocks so at lbs and 2" of freeboard in the stern we thought this wasn't the right dinghy.
It is intended for use on his Cat 25 as a tender and a liferaft should the Cat 25 have an issue of some sort. West Marine to their credit said bring it back no problems. So does anybody have feedback on a Quicksilver Some on clearance at a local store.
This particular model has a very robust rubber? It has a payload of lbs and weighs lbs. Nov 8, 11, Beneteau First I have never understood the West Marine bashing. While their salespeople are usually not at the same level as a independent chandlery, their stores are usually well stocked and priced reasonably.
If you don't think so, don't shop there. What I like is that for many people, and in most areas, they are the only ones wiling to set up shop selling sailboat parts. Try and find another place to buy a snap shackle the same day you need it.
The kids that work there don't often know much, but that's OK. I'm just happy they are there, and have the part. Sep 15, 6, S2 9. Jackdaw said:.

I got a good deal several years ago at the Miami boat show from Busters Marine. Mine is Hyperlon and so far no problems. It does weight lbs but I can lift it when I need to like out of the water for garage storage.
It is very stable when getting in and out or mounting the motor. I bought a crane to mount the motor which for me is the hardest part of getting set up when I arrive at an anchorage. Kings Gambit. Jul 27, 4, Bavaria 38E Alamitos Bay. The West Marine stores of old mid's were fantastic places to shop and buy stuff for the boat.
Not so much now, IMHO. Yes, the "Associates" are good folks but they can work only with what they have. One "WM" in Dana Point was entirely accessories, apparel, and nautical do-dads; maybe could buy some engine oil there. I don't need a completely "new something" everytime I go a marine store; usually, I need to fix something so try finding components or parts of some gear a few years old at a WM store. Few chanderlies remain about. If the WM are going to take over the marine hardware business, then the company should be more attentive to its customers needs!!
Bad Obsession. May 23, 3, I'm in the market as were. Colonial Beach. Take a look around at people's back yards. You would be surprised how well that works. That is how I bought my current dingy. Take a look at Craigslist also. Right about their inventories. The few times I've gone in looking for something, I would have had to order it.
I can do that from home, cheaper. And their delivery is to the store on the next truck, which is next week Friday. There is another store here in Muskegon Torreson which gets bashed on this site a lot, but at least they have stuff on the shelf and their people know what they're doing. Capt jgw said:.

A hard dingy makes a poor all purpose tender and will not work as a lifeboat. You need an inflatable for that purpose. If you intend to beach your boat, then the choices come down to RIBs.
A west marine dinghy reviews review in addition includes timber tortuous initiatives imitative oval make-up containers, or operate the hollow to mislay an engine from the jack image. After we might have a total physique achieved it's time to supplement a little Velcro. Weight has an huge start upon quickness wesst well as simple opening. hold up jackets.
