I agree that stainless is a bargain in the short term. If you figure cost in
relation to time monel is cheap compared to stainless.
I've seen 80 year old monel deck hardware (chocks and cleats) look and act
like it had been installed last week and I've seen 5 year old stainless deck
hardware (chocks and cleats) look like it had been installed last week, but
act like it was made of peanut brittle.


Monel is good stuff, I've been using a 55 gal monel strainer for a burn
barrel for 30 years and it was old when I inherited it.
