HELP! Need Aluminum Stock.
 

I am in the process of having a custom rail made for the deck of my boat and we're having trouble finding the right size aluminum stock.

I need a 12' piece measuring 5/16" x 1 1/4".

Any ideas ? Any manufacturer I've spoken to has a minimum order of a 100' or more.

Thanks for your help !

Just one peice? I can check with the machine shop that we work with.

Yes.

One piece will do it !

Thanks !

I use a place called Metal Supermarkets in Philly. They have alot of odd-ball things. I suppose shipping wouldn't be too much $.

Hey Wes,try Davidsons in deer park ny ortheres a big alumn dist in jamaica ny,or the scrap guy in westbury on grand ave. you would be surprised what comes in a scrap yard,i once found a bigbore hideck merlin block!!!! tripps

tripps what is the name of that scrap place? I have been looking for some cheap stainless to practice welding on.

Thanks,guys !

I'm still trying.....

Tripps - ever get out to the east end ?

Hey Wes, yes we do go out there sometimes,and i hear that the new boat club is trying to have a event out there and we might go, i have about 6 boats we travel with and are always ready to go. we are going to skaterfest for sure,by car. and puder ,my brain cant recall but just look in the yellow pages. what kind of welding are you trying to do? if that place does not have it,try mid island salvage in deerpark,they have everything and wes where do you go out east we are on the south shore and what boat do you have? tripps

Tripps,

Looks like I found my aluminum at HADCO in Jamaica . Thanks for your help .

Both Sean Olsen on this board and I boat out of Falcon High Performance Marine in Hampton Bays.

I have a 2001 27' Progression with a 496 HO.....

If you know anyone that might be interested in it , let me know as it might be for sale . I need a bigger boat now that Sean's moved up to 35' !

Let us know if and when you plan to come out east . There are a couple of places on the water to hook up .

Take it easy....

...it sure doesn't Fred , it sure doesn't !!!!

I'm thinking by the time I'm ready to buy , you'll be ready to sell and if your past rides are any gauge of the condition of your boats , I'll wanna be first on line. . ;) ;)

31' - 35' is the range I'll be looking for , so when ya get itchy....

Wes yes,that was the place i was thinking of,but i just couldnt recall the name and ill be looking for you,my ride is a 30 velocity with 3 mercs and we usally go to democrat,if you see the lindenhurst outboard boat im usually close by happy boating tripps
