1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

    Turning my deep draft off shore race boat into a play house in the back yard for the kids. Don't need a 7' draft boat living on a 5' deep estuary.

    On the London Metal exchange lead is $2600 / ton and rising fast after a pre Christmas correction.

    Have an offer in hand of $.68/lb picked up for the lead fin keel. I believe it is 9,000 lbs. If you can do better, email me. location Eastern North Carolina.

    I have sucked up enough lead fumes casting keels for all the sailboats I have built over the last 40 yrs, I have drawn a line in the Mold sand and don't wish to handle it any more. I am taking the easy deal. The lead is SOLD.

    PS. The local scrap yard offered $.15/lb This lead goes to Canada and they pay the transportation.
