So I have a question....
The boat companies sell a quick release gooseneck for the Sunfish. As best I can tell it is a just a $10 bicycle seat quick release I take off of bikes I find in the trash.

These do not last well in the salt environment. The aluminum nut on the steel shaft do not hold up well. For $30 one would hope they had them made in 316. But I am thinking they are paying $5 in bulk for seat post levers and making $$$.
I am up for paying $30 for an all SS 316 product, but I get them for free from bikes otherwise. Just saying...
