Chain Plate Material

Gee Whiz , Storm ,,, you will not find an answer to your question , better than Brion's .

Knowing that Gold is the best alloy to cap teeth ,,, how many people choose that expensive option ?

So we say what is your need to ask for more than what your boatbuilder or marine architect specified to put your boat in successful service ?

There have been boat owner/builders who specified Inconal for hulls , that including the US military , but expectations for longevity fell short , because unexpectated circumstances , like just who is berthed next to you , or how "Hot" the water is where you berth ?

It is Important that you question this issue and makes us all more knowledgable , in the research that develops and exposed on this website , to all who want to know ,,,, so we appreciate your question , and hope as you , to resolve , this issue !

Some long time ago circa 2004 , I was amazed to meet a Vancover 28' owner who said he never had a hull F / G blister problem , mostly because his boat was fabricated with epoxy resin , not polyester resin ,,,, go figure ?

What we like about Brion , is that he "Walks His Talk" , and shows you representive samples of what we can expect from our choices of materials and workmanship , in the life of our boats . An Expert Witness he is !
