Looking for a good Product page

I am planning on revamping our products page. Does anyone know of a good website that displays products with specs, features, and images? We are a manufacturer of marine products.

It's not exactly marine products but www.shopping.hp.com might give you some ideas.

Marine products ?
As a rule of thumb the more 'complete' the product the more Formal your website can be, for example for a software package your site can be designed to look totally profesional, corporate, (click and buy now)

however where you have items for sale where a user will need to enquire about its suitability for specific 'practical' uses - you need to drop a good deal of formality and adopt an ' ask Billy About it' format. You need to look less like a corporation and more like 'Billy the sailor'. selling the good gear .

You Will need a visitor to feel at home looking at all the goodies. The chances are he/she will not want to pay 'paypal'because they have probably never heard of it. Might well only use the Internet for less than an hour a month . . the rest of his spare time is spent playing on the boat.

I checked out all of your suggestions, and they were all too busy looking. I am looking for something clean and simple yet informative. Any other ideas?

How about doing a catolog type of site such as www.dnscreations.com . It works well for sites that need a lot of copy for specs and what knots.

Yes, this is way cleaner....any more like this?

No, unfortunately I haven't seen any other catalog type of web sites out there. I designed dnscreations.com just for the problem you are having. It was a good solution for me.
