Bruce,
It appears that the Hunter associations are organized by geographical
regions, not boat lengths. I checked a few of the websites for those
associations but could find no specific mention of a WM discount. Could you
get more info on how a Hunter member qualifies for it?
In the meantime, I've forwarded your note to the commodores of the largest
Catalina associations (22, 30, 34, 36) to see if any of them have a WM
benefit for their members and how it is administered. 
We'll make this a topic of discussion at next weeks C320IA Board conference
call to see if it is another member benefit we can provide.

I was told over the weekend that the Hunter Association has negotiated a
10%discount for their members on all purchases at West Marine.  Has anyone
elseheard of this?  I'm not familiar with the Hunter Association but it
soundslike they have one overall Association rather than one for each size
boat asis done with the Catalina owners.  This might be something we could
pursueor perhaps a Catalina representative is listening in to this listserv
andcan run with the ball - an nice additional selling point. Granted if
customer received a discount the difference would be in the priceanyway but
if Hunter owners are receiving it why should we absorb/pay theadditional
costs? Bruce Stumpp#647, AdventureFrog Mortar Creek, MD
