    I am getting ready to build an aluminum sailboat and am looking for aluminum sources. Has anyone any pointers or experience with any GOOD and CHEAP aluminum suppliers?

    Thanks

    Aluminum Supplier

    Might be too late, but Gene Davis Sales and Service in Erie, PA (google them or yellow pages). Ask for Dave Davis, he is great and an old friend. I sourced through him on several occasions while working as a Research Engineer, building odd stuff at MIT.

    Hope this helps,
