Gold. Just look in the yellow pages under ' plating '.

27 bankers and lawyers with yachts just contacted their local plating
companies about plating all the ground straps in the bilge.....and it's
all YOUR fault....(c;]

All Chemie has Rhodium foil to put in the bilge of the truly elite
boats. Rhodium crashed from $10,000/oz to about $1000/oz during this
depression.

I'm considering moving from Gold to Rhodium, even though its much harder
to sell when it's $10,000/oz in its very volitile market....no brokers.

If you put in on 1/50 000 inch thick, it comes to half a troy oz per
sq yard, both sides. How big does it need to be? They gold plate a
zillion connectors in the electronics business, but I don't know how
thick.

A roll of chicken wire is lots cheaper and the neighbors down the dock
won't be tearing up your locks and lazerette trying to steal it when you're
not aboard.
