For cast bronze I would refer you, again, to Roger Winiarski (http://www.bristolbronze.com), but he's not in the Midwest and I don't know if he could beat the stock bronze price. But, again, Roger's is a very pure alloy that would outlive any of us, even in a saltwater environment. Thanks for the details!

You should ask him what he would charge to do one or more centerboards. I think they would have to be made on one of the coasts, where you have industries geared to dealing with boats and saltwater. I think the key elements needed to cast a CB is a sandbox be enough to hold the casting mold, and a melting pot large enough to hold as much bronze as you would need to pour it. He might be just the guy to do it. Howard
