In Response To: SS Tank $$$ Nautic Marine (DavidR)

David,

That was over a year ago. Steel prices have gone through the overhead since then. As a mater of fact just about every metal has followed suit to a greater or lessor degree. Not only metals but anything petrochemical based product has likewise escallated. Last year I was paying $80 for 5 gallons of UV cure resin. My last order, a month ago, was $150 for the same 5 gallon pail.

My rudders have jumped in cost by over 20%. Same labor charge from the machinist, but the stainless cost almost doubled from just 6 months ago.

Br,

Patrick
