Why would that be a joke? Are there no discounts anywhere?

I just bought a boat after being boatless for six years. A lot can change in
six years.

A lot has changed. The Loco fellow is a resident ass who attacks people for no
reason.
Ebay is one great way to search for parts. You can also check out several
surplus sites via a google search.

Good luck,

No Boob I'm not trying to take your place. Don't try to win the new guy over
since you have no friends. Ask for a poll to see who's considered the
"resident ass"
Ebay might be good if you don't need the parts now.

Don't worry. The trophy is yours. This is the second time you acted like a dick
to a newcomer.
Loco, calling me names after you foul yourself is doing you no good at all.

Idiot!

Try being specific about what you're looking for Dennis. Discounted parts
come at the premium of questionable history and dependability at times. Ask
around for your local "Midnite Sailing Supplies" vendor. The local Thieves
Guild may have just what you are looking for in recently pilfered winches or
would no doubt take orders on specific parts. I understand they have a
thriving business at City Marina in NYC run by an unscrupulous character
referred to as "Big Bob"......

Good Luck....

That's the point Marc!!

He's not doing his own leg work. It's out there for those who want to find
it.
Instead he's here asking.. and getting no answers partly because he's vague
in what he wants and hasn't done the prep work.

I mean look at the question .."Are there any good US sites on the Internet

Of course there are... even West Marine has sales and discounts. A trip to
his local marinas might get him better advise for his location from people
that have experience. Why would anyone think that 'better" deals are
available on the web?

Can't speak for everything, but I generally buy anything that is
non-perishable and cost over 25.00 online, My experience is that one can
find exactly what one is looking for at a lower price, after shipping,
handling and tax is taken into consideration. (Not to mention traffic, store
size, incompetent clerks, long checkout lines, etc. etc.)

Try SailLoco, a regular poster here. He will drop ship most any part you
might require. And he' cheap.

Well, what do you consider a discount marine store? Also if they arn't
discount stores and you know who is why did you ask the question in the first
place? I'm always looking for a bargin so post the names of who you consider
to be the titans of the industry.

Ok, I found some winch handles at ebay and I'm still looking for a good deal
on quality snatch blocks.

I need four snatch blocks so if I save $10.00 each that adds up. I looked at
a local marine store and they are over $110.00. Found some on ebay for
$89.00.

I got a good deal on my Flyer but there is hardware missing. Plus I'm going
to need a lot of nickel and dime stuff like turn blocks, safety kit
w/flares, air horn, horseshoe ring, etc.

I was hoping to find a good on-line discount store where I could get
everything in one shipment. But I guess the maufactures are protecting their
retailers.

Yes, $40.00 would be correct at $10.00 each but even more at $20.00 each.
Lets see that's about $80.00 :-)

Never shoplifted in my life - I do warranty all my batteries at K-Mart, though!
They have such crummy batteries. They never seem to last much more than a
year, he he!

I didn't think he was that smart.

I make my own parts.
