Commercial Members Directory

Our commercial members provide the Society with much-needed financial support. In return we provide them with business-card-size ad space in the Metal Boat Quarterly, with space for display ads available at reduced cost, an article about their business in the Quarterly upon sign-up, display space at the annual Metal Boat Festival, and a listing in our online resources directory (this page) at our website.

They are a valuable resource for our members, and we encourage members (and others browsing these pages) to make use of the expertise they offer. They provide a considerable array of materials and services to metal boat owners, and are all well versed in applying their products and knowledge in support of the metal (and other) boat owner.

Here we have included information about our commercial members and links to their websites, where available. If you need help locating a particular source not included here, please post at the Forum, or email or phone, using the email link or contact numbers posted at the bottom of the page, and the staff at the MBS office will be happy to assist you (members only, please).

Clicking the logos will open a new browser window and take you to the various websites, where you can get more information about the products and services offered by our commercial members.
