When i bought from them they only had 500ft spools, but I went to a ship rigger and had it spliced onlyl cost $10 its only a little thicker at the splice and a little stiffer from the extra denisity and the thread. aslong as it fits through your fairlead its sweet |

key, you can. u just have to specify that's what u want. the only downside is that it doubles the shipping time. |

the seattlemarine website line works like a freaking dream. They sell rope in 600 ft spools. Anything bigger you get in 2 cuts. |

LFARMADA,........your right. i sent an email asking for 1000ft. he said its possible just takes like three weeks to ship cause its special order. but thats cool,...i wont be back home until christmas. im going to try to get this darn QC SUPPLY stuff to work unitl then. even if i have to double it up somehow to be stronger. |

this is the stuff i bought.... lasted maybe 2 days of winching before it started breaking every single pull

i am not the only person who had bought the previously mentioned rope and had problems... i strongly recommend spending more on quality rope... i wish i had bought good rope the first time... _________________ PAVT since '05/'06 |

yea, JEFFKNOX,.........i think thats it. im going to get more when i get back to the states. but now my hands are kinda tied. down here in brazil i need to shop around to see what they got. im sure it will cost a arm and a leg no matter what it is. stuff like this is outrageous. maybe i will just take it easy with shallow water starts,.........i dont know,........... |
