If it's not a boat, and not a motor, and you want to sell it or offer it to other members, you can put your ad here

Well I finally got the first samples poured. I'm pouring the remainder Monday. If you want one that will be your chance. Please post here, PM me, or email me at 65thtj@gmail.com if you want one. $75 each, $5 for shipping anywhere in the US and Canada.

Also of the samples I have one that has a slight defect. It's perfectly fine but it can't be polished. If you planned on painting yours, I'll sell it for $50. If not it'll become the pattern for future parts as needed.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Here are the windshield frames in process. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product though. The first picture is right out of the mold with another set of cut off parts next to them. The second pic is those parts hot off the welder. The parts had a lot of sand marks because of the loose mold they came from. Luckily my cousin did a great job welding. 535 Almag is a pain to weld. We couldn't add material, only heat it up and then polish it after.

Note all the weld marks! These were the most labor-intensive parts by far but well worth it!

Out of all the frames I poured, I only got 2 good sets and those are sold. I did save a set as a pattern though. They aren't fit for a boat but I can fill the marks with filler and use them as a permanent pattern in case people need them in the future. I did the same with the bow cap.

As for what I've got left for sale, I believe I have only one bow cap left for sale if anyone's interested. $80 shipped. I can and will make more in the future but it will be a long lead-time because I'm moving away from my families business. Figure a few months if you want/need one.

Sorry the windshield frames are all sold out. If/when I make another set I'll post here.

Still have 1 bow cap left if anyone is interested.

Hi Rayrar

I am interested in a few bow caps for my collection of boats, I currently have a CVx 18 that should hit the water this summer and the shop I had it in lost the bow cap. I also have a cvx 16 and a cvx 20 that will need bow caps. Can you tell me when I can order and how much they will be? I will also need to arrange freight for them as I am in Abbotsford British Columbia.

Best Regards

Hey guys, just adding another post to this topic. Thanks for everyone that was/is interested in parts. I am no longer able to make nor will I be able to accept any orders for the future. There are parts out there so don't give up looking for them.

If you've got parts and want more, I'd suggest taking them to your local small Aluminum foundry and ask them to make you a few in 535 Almag. Just remember you get what you pay for! I wish I could make more but since I'm not local I can't make them on the side!
