Port Supply cards are not that easy to get! You really can't be a Realtor or convenience store owner and get a Port supply card, at lest up here with my rep.. My rep up here, Matt, required a Maine business license number, sales tax re-sale certificate and references of other marine wholesale accounts I had such as Bainbrige. The prices are decent but I still do better at Hamilton (commercial account also).

For example the West Marine ACP multi-season ablative is $179.00 retail and $139.00 Port Supply..
