Try Greg's marine wire - http://gregsmarinewiresupply.com/  They are quick and reasonable - wire is expensive anyway.  I bought all the wire for my rebuild from them.
You can use 16 ga for lights.  If you buy bilge wire from them its 14ga.  If you want to pull new main wires from battery to terminal blocks you might use 8 ga.
