Trevor,<br /><br />All depends on what you are looking for. Prices are high in Toronto (Canada) compared to the U.S.<br /><br />What are you looking for?<br /><br />I can probably point you in the right direction?<br /><br />I'm a south etobicoker or a trentonian depending on day of week..<br /><br />Joe

Trevor...what part of Toronto, I use the Rigging Shoppe in Scarboro and John's Marineland in Markham. Again it depends on what you are looking for?

US shops are a little out of the way for me as I live/work downtown Toronto. I ended up going to genco marine on king street last nite to buy a $400.00 force 10 bar-b-q. I got there at 5.55 pm and store is closed even though their sign says closing time is 6pm. Wasted trip and i'm a bit peeved. Guess I'm giving my future business to the dock shoppe on Queens Quay east even if it is a little more pricey.
