cheapest i can get the rope for is 2.41 per foot for 3/8 which is rated at (black, blue, green orange). rated at 17,600 not sure what length is really needed.
100' = $241 + shipping etc.. 80' is $192.80 + shipping etc.
Like i said, i can make the fixed end to hold, and connecting to the winch is easy peasy.
On a side note, buying more. in 100ft sections seems to be cheaper, but over what i can float. maybe some guys want to go in on buying some to get the cost down?
