i checked the price of exhaust hose....my marina has it for $22/ft.
these guys have it for 12/ft

thanks much!

Jamestown Distributors is a good outfit but don't always have the best
prices. If I'm shopping price I'll always take a look at Defender
Industries. Their mail order operation has gotten to be quite
efficient.

You're right. It doesn't hurt to shop around, and it's good to at
least have a second recomendation and the more options the better.

Thanks Wayne!

Thanks, Wayne. I wanted Polyform, and Jamestown popped up early in my
search and had them at a reasonable price compared to the local
dealer. I'll keep Defender in mind next time... they had them a bit
cheaper.

I do have to say that the Jamestown service was great!

One thing I notice when poking around on the web sites... the really
BIG fenders go for really big money! A fender for nearly a grand?
Wow. I guess it's a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of the
boat you'd use it on.

I've seen some of those fenders on mega yachts and they *really* are
big. Even one scratch would cost thousands to repair so the fenders
are like cheap insurance. I've debated getting a couple at the house
for hurricane protection but haven't done it yet.
