Eek! What a frightening thought! A stainless steel centerboard! Eeek! I live about half a mile from the ocean, so in my house remodel, I made them use 316 stainless finishing nails for the redwood siding, so they wouldn't rust and stain the wood. As soon as the job was done, the remainder disappeared into my contractor's truck, never to be seen again. 5000 16-gauge 1.5" collated finishing nails cost me $100. I shudder to think what a 316 stainless centerboard would cost. Probably more than a new Montgomery!
