Author Topic:   Best online store for round fenders

I'm looking for online stores that sell round fenders. I'm looking for the smaller size around 9 or 10 inches in diameter.
Other than the usual West Marine and Boater's World, what are some decent places to look. Price and service reviews would be appreciated.

Hamilton's is my local chandlery and is a very good place. Staff are very knowledgeable, a bit gruff (NE charm).
While their website is not the most polished, can't go wrong.

After looking around for fenders and finding the ones at, say, West Marine overpriced (in my opinion), I bought a couple of ball-type buoys from Bass Pro:

I also bought some cylindrical-type fenders from Overton's:

For me, choosing a retailer (online or local) always involves a calculation between quality/suitability of the product, price and shipping cost/time.

I ordered from Bass Pro Shops today. The price was half what West Marine charges here locally. Gee whiz I don't know how they stay in business with the prices they charge.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll file them away for future reference.

I've found West Marine to be real good about matching prices, even for on-line sellers. Just bring in the catalog page. Saves time and shipping costs also. They seem to be getting more and more competitive.
