    Question I Need Info On Galvanized Steel Hardware

    Has Any One Out There In A/c Land Ever Used Galvanized Turnbuckles,galvanized Wire Or Other Types Of Likewize Fittings....I Dont Want To Spend 27 Bazillion Dollars On Stainless Steel Wire At This Time.If so how well does it hold up to the marine environment.I am currently planning on rerigging a boat with 1/4 (7x19)inch galvanized steel wire(atleast it says "aviation grade" on the spool) and I already got one of those nico-press hand held swaging tools that seems to be real beef.this boat(1967 wayfarer 29) is like a blank canvass that needs to be completely re-rigged.nothing on this boat is original.Its like a 500 piece jigsaw puzzel with 300 pieces from other puzzels and 300 pieces missing.do the math.I have seen all sorts of galvanized steel advertized in marine catalogues but never really used it much.before you say anything just remember that there are some entire boats made of steel.......
