Cleats

[petedd]

The deck looks gorgeous after the repaint. The Alexseal is amazing
paint. Most would have been happy with just the primer…

Since I took all hardware off the decks to paint them, I am now
assessing the old hardware and most is looking pretty shabby next to the
new-boat-looking deck. My massive 10+” cleats really need to be
replated or replaced. I got some of the Marine Parts Depot 10″ cleats
and they are Micky Mouse at best compared to the old ones. I knew the
minute the package arrived and the four new cleats weighed about as much
as one of my old ones. I am sending them back. (When will I learn that
those guys don’t make serious deck hardware…).

Has anyone a great source for replating such things? I want to stay
away from the motorcycle chrome shops as I have found them to be very
expensive. I once had some plating done by a commercial shop between
New Bern and Washington NC but I can’t seem to find their info anywhere
in my notes.

Thanks!

Pete
