[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 152046, member: 55"] Could be a location difference, but that is a BIG difference. I know that my local supplier (which I am incredibly lucky to have about 3 miles from the house, and couldn't ask for better customer service) has the lowest prices in the area, that I've found (including Atlanta area). However, I haven't priced anything other than 5052 in such a long time, that I couldn't tell what they'd be. I do know that the 5052 runs higher than the 3003, but I think it might be less than 6061, at least with the T6 temper. Maybe I need to start looking around a bit more for prices. On a completely unrelated subject, I wish all the boat companies would build the ribs like they are on your Alumacraft, where they are mitered and welded at the corners, and not just bent. I imagine the cost is a bit more, but it is definitely a better construction method, for a multitude of reasons. [/QUOTE]
