otaga05 is on a distinguished road
My main reason for favoring Hamilton Marine over WM is that they are locally owned. The manager of the Searsport, ME store lives just up the road from me. I know that any extra money I spend there will be re-spent locally. Same reason I bank at a locally owned bank that invests my money in the region where I work and gives a lot of money to local charities, and shop at locally owned lumber yard and hardware store. With WM I don't know where the profits are spent.
