Aluminum Sources

I am getting ready to build an aluminum sail boat. Does anyone have pointers on a GOOD and CHEAP aluminum supplier?

Thanks

Dustin

Dustin,

here's the industrial world's best reference source:

www.thomasregister.com

it's good for ANYTHING that is manufactured under the sun, and companies are listed by state.

in your case, search for aluminum; then narrow the search down to sheet, or plate, or extrusion, or cast, or forgings, or....

define "good".

and define "cheap".

the terms are usually relative.
