reminds me of a thing that happened to me some ten to 15 years ago.

A fellow finish carpenter and cabinet maker and I got talked into doing a job over in VT. So we would go up past Killington MT and ski area and stay in a campground on a lake near the job site.

Week after week just as you left the flats to go uphill towards the main entrance to the ski area was a little old cape or such set way way back from the road. At the end of the driveway was a spray painted 4 ft by 8 ft sheet of plywood propped up to be seen by all passers by.

It said :

Antiques made to order
all price ranges

Only in VT
LOL:D

I have looked them over and
see no reason you couldn't use one on a boat.


The center is pot metal.



Anyone else see a contradiction here?

no I see somting that you would need to replace. Whats the contradiction?

I used one, as a temporary wheel. I drilled the hub and filled it with epoxy. It did the job until I rebuilt mine.

When I think pot metal, soft comes to mind. Not sure how well it would stand up to a key. Also, not sure how it would corrode to the shaft. When I think "hub" and "use on boat", Bronze comes to mind.
