WTB *But I Need Your Help* - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just beware West Marine "Manager Specials" as opposed to sales. Lowrance will reject any rebate for units purchased at West Marine - message will come back as "Unauthorized Dealer".
I went round and round with Lowrance on this and got nothing out of it for my HDS 7. Seems WM is giving you the rebate right up front and calling it a "Special" without Lowrance's blessing and not telling the customer that fact - then they feel screwed when the rebate gets rejected.
When I explained to the Lowrance rep that a bunch of guys were simply getting Bass Pro to price match and then getting the rebate he called them cheaters.
I say screw em and cheat if thats what they want to call it.
