Who owns which online boating retailer?

[Expidia]

I know West owns another online retailer, but I don't know which one it is?
Is it Boatsavings.com?

Overton's now owns Gander Mountain (and now they charge sales tax in my State). Too bad, because Gander was a decent store, but is sure to go the everything they sell is made in China route now!

I can understand a brick and mortar store like West owning a discount online retailer.

But some of the sites I buy from I find are the same site only under different names. Kinda like the scammer NY City camera stores that operate online under "many" different names.

So who knows who operates an online retailing site but goes under different names???

I know that West owns BoatUS. BoatUS is still online but the real store that was in my town was closed soon after West took over, BoatUS was convient to get to so they closed it.

I know that there are a few online retailers that are owned by the same company in the UK, is that of interest?

Thanks for your reply, but you're right as I personally mostly only buy from U.S. retailers due to the shipping costs worldwide. Funny though, I bought some Ipod accesories a while back from a UK site and it came faster than some of my U.S. purchases.

But since this is a global site others many be interested in UK sites too!
