I was just at West MArine and happened to see some "outrigger backing plates", ewwwwwwww, pretty shiny aluminum............$68.00 WHOA, are they kidding?
Good GAWD, my CNC mill could do those for nearly nuthin. Even better, I could do it out of my fav material, G10, garolite and it wouldnt cause corrosion.
What Y'all fishy people think? Do people really pay that much for a couple pieces of shiny aluminum with holes in em?

No doubt. Many people don't have the tools, materials or the skills
to use them. Buying is easier for them and saves time.
Damn, have you seen the price of Aluminum stock lately? Might be cheaper
to buy them after all..
