Yeah, the SS fasteners add up quickly, especially if you buy them at the local hardware store or Home Depot. And likely as not, they'll be 18-8 stainless, not the 316 stainless you want for salt exposure. I try to anticipate the fasteners I'm going to need and order them from Marsh Fasteners. Even with shipping, they're less than half what I'd pay locally.

Those are great prices...I wish I would of known about them earlier. Most of the time I am just doing trial fits with odds and ends, then go to the store for the real thing. Usually don't need them NOW.

Oh well they are booked marked and when the need arises I will definitely use them.
