My brother gets their catalogue and I've looked though it and it
doesn't really seem like there's anything in there that I need. But
they do have a good selection of stuff, though. I looked at the prices
of their electrical things and saw items there that I thought were
rediculous, and saw things in there that my local marina[s] have for
compatable pricing. But not all things.


Anyone have experience with Overton's


I have ordered from them and they are OK. Just watch the prices. Like
everyone else they have loss leaders and charge too much for other
things. Service was fine.


Yes, They're catalogue looked a lot like looking though a Jegg's or
Summit automotive catalogue. A lot of "chromie-go-faster" stuff. With
advertising using squeeky-clean models on the dock of the yacht club,
that wouldn't get wet, dirty, or sweaty if they had to.



Jegg's and Summit. I like their sales lines. "your LOW price!" or "The
part you want ant the price you want to pay..."
