Anchor Rode

Anyone know of a cheap place to get Anchor Rode in the Erie area?  I'm trying to keep as many purchases local as I can.  I've found 200' of 1/2 twisted nylon with an anchor thimble from Bass Pro Shops for 79.99.   Like I said I'd really rather keep this money in out local economy if possible.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Don

    dont know what they charge for anchor line/anchor, etc... but imo Ship Shape Marine in Erie has the best customer service and prices youll find. bought a new 5 gallon remote tank and fuel line from gander. stopped to get gas and the line/connector leaked. stopped at Ship Shape on the way to walnut and got a new line/connector. the line/connectors/tank were all cheaper than gander. very nice people.

    Ship Shape has treated me awesome.....Harbor freight has rediculously cheap rope that works well.....

    Better too far back, than too far forward.

    If you have a tractor supply around they have great prices on rope also.

    Don't forget to use a chain before the anchor-makes a big differance.
    Even a 2-4 foot chain will help set the anchor.

    Thanks Guys,
     
    I went to ship shape marine (since I can see the building out of my office window!!).  Great guys, very helpful.  Getting pumped to get the new boat in the water.

    I have done most of my business in erie with ship shape (just because they were the first ones I found up there) and those dudes have gone out of thier way more than once to be cool and help with some things that I am sure were a pain in the you know what for them.
