I'm in the process of re-rigging my Pantera. I was getting ready to head down to Boaters World for some triplex wire for the k-planes and trim. BW sells a 100ft spool of 14/3 triplex for $129. This place (http://stores.ebay.com/Genuinedealz) has the same thing for $50.44. Shpping is pretty reasonable, too. They also have a non-ebay store (http://stores.channeladvisor.com/genuinedealz).
I have ordered from GenuineDeals a couple of times and they ship fast and are quick to answer questions. Another site that also has great prices on wire is www.bestboatwire.com
I'm a big fan of www.bestboatwire.com (also).
They ship out of Florida, same day (usually) and really good customer service.
Got an order per Zanie's recomendation and is pretty nice stuff ....Delivery was a little slow ...(10 days) ....and I live in Florida .... I think I ordered on a Friday though ....and it was mon or tues 10 days later .... the 2 weekends prob had something to do with that ....m

Re: found - good source for marine wire, etc
When I read this post i thought.... great a place to buy wire and cable and a few terminal blocks. I made up an order that came to almost $300.00. I sent B.B.W an email to ask if I could use my own shipping account number. I receive a reply that said no problem but they would charge me a HANDLING FEE....WTF. I am so tired of companies F****** people with little extra charges. If you arn't making a profit on your product raise your prices.
I also will not buy from companies that charge a fee for using a Credit Card. Here in Texas it is Illegal to charge a person a fee to use a CC or Debit Card.
My stuff from Genuinedealz totaled $111.15 and my shipping was $11.60. I chose to have it sent through USPS Priority mail. UPS may have been a few dollars less, I can't remember. I'm pretty sure that Genuinedealz charges by weight. I ordered late Sunday and added something to my order Monday morning about 8:45AM. It went out that afternoon and I had it Wednesday. I checked the USPS website to see what a 15lb priority mail package from 40204 to 37932 would cost. It showed $11.65

Off my soapbox now
An outfit like that would generate a ups label and automatically schedule when you place the order. In order to use your account, someone has to take the information and fill out a separate label then call and schedule it, probably a real PITA, I'm impressed that they would be prepared to do that even with a small fee.
In this case they would have been better off saying that they couldn't do it.
Generally I totally agree about the handling charge thing and the BS credit card add-on's.
Get hit with them everytime I pay UH tuition fees online for my two college kids.
