T&T: PYacht

[Paul Esterle]

Fawcett's used to be nicknamed "Tiffany on the Bay". However, you could always find specials there reasonably priced. The good news is that WM is now so high that they make Fawcett's much better as far as prices go. Fawcett's has always been known for great customer service. Most of their staff are experienced boaters. When I would drive in from Tennessee, I would always stop there. They would greet me by name. Be sure to sign up for a Fawcett's customer account number. It gives you some discount (I think) and puts you on their mailing list for sales and seminars...

Hello & Good Morning: 

FWIW...I think Paul is correct that Fawcett's is not known for online 
shopping. However, my wife and I were by their store in Annapolis two weeks 
ago and their prices were okay and their service was great. For example, I 
purchased a Fortress FX-23 anchor. Their price was +/- $310. Since getting 
home and checking on the internet, I found one store with a price of +/- 
$290, plus shipping. All other internet stores I found ranged from $338 to 
$360. We spent more than an hour just looking and their personal could not 
have been more helpful...What a great store. 

I wish we had a Fawcett's in our area !! 

Just my two cents worth......

Fawcett's isn't known for online shopping. That's the main reason the bought 
PYacht...
