Looking for anodized aluminum pipe
 

I just bought a hacked up t top for a 23 seacraft and need to find a source for anodized aluminum pipe with a 1.5 inch inside diameter. This has been a difficult material to track down. Do you guys know anyone.

isn't anodized pipe very difficult to weld? just a thought if your thinking about doing the work yourself.

The anodization needs to be ground away in the vicinity of the weld.
