Figured one of you would know a store, online store, that might be a good
place to shop.

Have you had a look at http://www.jamestowndistributors.com ?

Some products are cheaper and some are about the same as West Marine.
Good selection, too.

I've ordered some fasteners and tools from them and been happy with
the service and the catalogs they send me semi-regularly.
