Replacing Mast, Boom and Crosbeam on PDQ32

[thinwater]

Take the paint off and don't re-paint? Or, as suggested, clean, treat, and repaint.

I had a 30-year old Stiletto I just sold with similar issues, since it was 10 years old. The damage was quite superficial and of no structural importance. If I was the seller I would not blink. I would say that is consistent with it being X years old and is not a defect.

Ultrasonic thickness testing and pit gauging can determine the metal loss. (I do tank inspections).

Thanks guys, i contacted Offshore Spars, ( Mike ,very helpful ) he tells me the major problem to get the exact size replacement , is that few a years ago they all used one extruding company to produce their tubes even though they all had different proprietary shapes. That extruding company is now closed and with that all of their dies were gone.
Also the transport costs from are very expensive and the probability of the mast arriving undamaged are slim. Even with having to package the mast and crossbeam in a wood crate the chances of no damage are slight.
So it seems the only option at the moment is to refurbish the existing components. At the moment i have rough estimate of around $10000 if i can get the boat to the yard.
As far as the reaction on the crossbeam , it seems to because of the slides holding the trampoline on are made of Brass and they are reacting with the aluminium , any body seen this before.
