A month ago West Marine had New England rope on sale. I purchased 200' of both 1/2 and 5/8". Still in their shipping containers and will stay there until the boat is in the water. Just my humble thoughts

Foggy you describe the difference between good line and bad line perfectly.
My suggestion for buying line is to look for the best price you can on a name brand like Samson or New England. That is how you get the best value for your money.
