I had these vents made due to the fact that my boat was missing one when restoring my Classic 18.
After trying unsuccessfully to find one, I decided to have it cast.
I had 5 sets made due to the economics and have sold three sets to members. Originally, I was going to use a set and keep a spare, but have now decided that I will sell the spare set.
The casting that was done was bronze investment casting not sand casts.
Edges and corners were cleaned up so that they are sharp and crisp.
This type of production is a difficult and costly to do. I will not be producing any more.
Cost for the final set (4 vents) is $565.00
Shipping is included.
Thanks.
