I needed a couple of new Polyform fenders and some other stuff, and

They shipped quickly and the prices were reasonable. *They included a
catalog in the box, and I was surprised to see that they have a lot of
wooden boat building and repair supplies. *Epoxies, several types of
glass and kevlar cloths, bottom paint, varnish, tools, etc. *A pretty
nice selection it seemed. * Located in Rhode Island.

Just thought I'd pass along a good experience.

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

thanks much!

That sounds like a respectable difference. I wonder if it's the same
stuff, and if it is, I think the Marina is marking it up double. But
then again, they have to eat too.

BUT.....

Chances are the marina is buying the hose from some outfit just like
Jamestown Distributors, and are not getting that much of a trade
discount. If they don't mark it up, they're losing money.
