Ok all you pontoon and tube pimpin nuts out there I have found an aluminum rod and tubing dealership in Salt Lake City. I have also found a welder in Woodscross UT that works with all of this bending and welding. For those who need this here is their contact information:

From what I have found it looks like the aluminum supplier might be a national chain.

Metal Supermarkets has a room of remnants at great prices. They had some diamond plate at $15 for a sheet of decent size.

The welder is:

The Iron works is currently working on a job for me making a footrest to replace one that was lost by the previous owner of my toon.

[#0000ff]I might hit that place for a mounting deck and some launch tubes for my surface to surface missiles. PVC just ain't holdin' up too well when the power squadron gets too pesky.[/#0000ff]

The welder did mention one other place where they get their stock from. It is a little further away though.

Here's some guys that do custom work in your geographical area, but may be high $ : http://www.prophish.com/quickfin.html They have a number of unique products (check out their website) and will custom build anything, as they are machinists by trade.

Most of the cutting edge stuff (not only in pontoons) will be moving to carbon fiber as prices drop and this stuff is much lighter, and much stronger than steel, plus rustproof. So I have been looking around the web for parts suppliers for suppliers of structural components for some of my projects...

I can second the Metal Super Market people and their service. I met the owners playing poker in Dover and have bought a fair bit from them.

If anyone cares to know another fully equiped metal shop (fabricators and they have the metal there) Try Kingdon Sheet Metal. If I was cool I'd have their exact address handy but it's about 3700 South and 3rd West. Been getting my gear fixed there for almost thirty years.
