That is a tragedy.
BBW was one of the best marine product suppliers I have ever dealt with.

That's too bad that the economy has claimed another victim! I just read that Ritz Camera which owns Boater's World has filed for bankruptcy too!
I found a guy on ebay that will make up marine leads for you for dirt cheap. He uses name brand marine wire (Ancor?), and will crimp on lugs with the adhesive shrink wrap for a small fee. Do a search for "Genuinedealz" under sellers. I've bought from him a number of times and folks on my online owner's club have done so also and gotten good material and service as well. He sells bulk wire too.
My $0.02

I have used Genuinedealz and found them to be great! Super fast S/H and reasonable prices.

That's not the message now on the link. Says it's temporary due to their supplier.

The content of the link has changed since this morning.
Hopefully they will be back.
