No need to spend that much...

Their warranty may be impressive, but warranties are only words...I prefer to go with a proven track record.

Trident 101 http://www.tridentmarine.com/stage/sanitation.htm has only a 5 warranty against odor permeation failure, but has been on the market for more than 15 years without a single reported case of odor permeation...and the sailboatowners.com online store has it for about $6/ft...cut to any length http://shop.sailboatowners.com/detail.htm?group=1254&cat=3714

It's a double-wall rubber hose, a bit softer than SeaLand and therefore a lot easier to work with. However, no hose should ever be heated to make it bend further than it wants to bend willingly...doing so will weaken the hoses, causing it to tear on the outside of the radius and or kink...maybe not immediately but sooner or later. Break the hose and use inline radius fittings in tight bends.

Btw...the sbo.com online store has a lot of good stuff you need at excellent prices...start comparing by checking out the plumbing page here http://shop.sailboatowners.com/division.htm?div=37 When you buy from them you help to support this site.
