5083 H321 is generally a marine products certified material. However, don't use the Alcan 5083 H321, produced at Alcan Kingston, Ontario mill if you need a marine certified product. If you DO need the marine certified 5083 H321, make darn sure you get the certs up front. There have been problems with intergranular corrosion (exfoliation corrosion and fracturing problems)with the Alcan product that was used in boat hulls. Apparently the -H116 temper is better suited for marine applications.

 

I could not come up with a source for 1-5/16 inch thick plate - the standard sizes appear to be in 1/4 inch steps over the 1 inch thickness with the closest sizes being 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch. The closest to the 0.093 is a nominal 0.090 thickness (and it will range between 0.089 to 0.093 depending on the mill-run). My local aluminum guy couldn't even quote it for me.
