Looking for a boom for a Neptune 16

[Greg Asbury]

I just purchased a 1981 Neptune 16. Then I found out the boom and main sail were stolen. Where can I find a boom? HELP!!!
Looking for a good used sail also.
Thanks, Greg

Most people do not know what a 16 boom is. Some additional facts might help your cause.

Maybe you could modify this one to fit your boat: https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/bpo/d/sailboat/6175554044.html

Good call. The boat is a Neptune 16. I am looking for an 8' boom.

I think you can fab one from a 2 or 3" aluminum tube. Maybe 1/8" thickness, and you can fab the ends from wood or metal. It is only a 16' boat, so the loads are slight.

Ended up getting one off Ebay for $130. Need to find a sliding gooseneck that will fit into a 1" square fitting on the boom.
Looking for a mainsail now....18'x8'.
