Hey mark, I found a weld shop that says they will cut the board out of plate steel and I should then get it power coated. the cost for the centerboard board steel replacement would be $100.00, the drilling of the pivot up hole, etc. would be $35.00. It will be a little bit thinner by a 1/8 inch. Don't know how much that would weight in at.. I've called a couple places for powered coated work, so far no quotes. -- I found a machine shop that can come up with a stainless board cut exactly same shape with holes drilled and all comes to $350.00 its made of 304 stainless, I think it should be 316 to be used in salt water..I think that would weight the same. Its cut with a laser and water/sand mix to extremely tight tolerances looks almost ready to polish. I didn't know they do that. Mike PS, how do you convert your drawings to jpeg, tiff and pdf ?
