[QUOTE="poolie, post: 69209, member: 837"] I'm at the same point you are. At the moment Aluminum is winning, but may at least look at a combination of the two and see if that makes sense. I found a place today that has pretty good prices on aluminum (at least relative to Home Depot) [url]https://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?id=60&step=2&top_cat=60[/url] they have no minimum order and an 8ft stick of 1.5 x 1.5 x .125 of 6061 is around $13. I think I saw that they also give a 10% discount on orders over $100. My boat will have to live outside (with cover) which will probably be the reason I go with aluminum. -- Pooile [/QUOTE]
