Hey Mike,
 
My old board was Powder coated. The stuff is really tough
I found the receipt for the work. The board was hot dipped
galvanized then powder coated.
The cost came in at $ 65.00 in 2001
So if you adjust for inflation you should not have to pay more
than $75-$80.00 bucks.
 
Image Conversion Information:
I think you said you were using an Adobe Product for your photo stuff.
If that’s the case after you scan or import the image into your software
you should be able to File Save As. A dialogue box should appear with
image file types. jpg, tiff, bmp, etc.
You may also have to change your original image to Indexed,  24bit color,
or 8bit grayscale before your software allows you to save.
 
PDF's: In order to convert or "Distill" an image to the pdf file format
you have to purchase the full blown version of Adobe Acrobat.
the viewer is distributed for free. That's the hook
I think I'll have to take the bait and make the purchase.
It's so much easier to share dissimilar file formats with others
independently of native software's.

Subject: Re: M_Boats: replace center - board

No the power coat is for the iron center-board replacement to make it as
rust proof as possible. Because the steel board would be so much cheaper
then having a custom pour  done with cast iron.  The stainless series 316
does not require covering, but painting it with white racing anti fouling
would seem like a good idea no matter what the color of the hull would be
