By coincidence, after pricing items in the West Marine catalog, it looks
like it would cost about $50.00 to epoxy barrier coat and then paint the
centerboard. I suppose you could say that there is no guarantee on that
method either, but I'd have only myself to blame if I screwed up.
On one hand, galvanizing would be easier since all I have to do is
drive. On the other hand epoxying/painting the cb would allow me to put
a very bright color on the board so that it would be more visible in the
event of a capsize. I'm assuming equal durability from both methods.
Any advice from the wisdom of the group?
