I wish China would start dumping fiberglass into the market.

No one can be wrong that often so it has to be deliberate.
My old tin boat's value will rise!? Afraid it will be cheaper to keep her.

Isn't the elephant in the room why we don't have many steel and aluminum plants left?

The first time American companies really imported steel in volume. 500,000 steel workers went on strike in our country...half a million workers basically shut down America forcing the import of steel from Japan and South Korea.

How much $ in aluminum goes into the typical 18-20’ tin boat? I have no idea what a plate of .100 or .125 aluminum costs or all of those other thinner parts that may go into the construction of the boat. Guessing most nice multi species boats still have wood floors so the primary cost would be in the hull.
I recycle a lot of aluminum each and every day after I empty the can of all 12 ounces of goodness.
